The top 2021 Snapdragon 888 processor is powerful, but too much "hot" chip. The flagships under his rule suffered from overheating, and the problem was not v the smartphone itself, and exactly at processor. Looks like new Snapdragon 8 Gen1 inherited this "peculiarity"...

What does it mean?

Of course, while to do some conclusions early, as on to date, only one smartphone is presented with Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip - Moto edge x30... Yes and then, v sale he will arrive only on December 15... But on the problems with overheating of the processor hints at the famous insider IceUniverse.

"On the On Moto phones, the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Extreme Test is very hot. Please be mentally prepared, 2022 could be hot" for Android smartphones", - he wrote.

But of course before you do some conclusions, it is better to wait for detailed tests and release of other models with Snapdragon 8 Gen1.

But, in fairness, overheating - not a new problem for smartphones. Each new generation of chips is faster than the previous one, and despite increased efficiency, large and heavy ARM cores start to emit a lot of heat. A manufacturers in turn to thin cases, sacrificing heat dissipation for design.
