2022 flagships to be hot: it looks like Snapdragon 8 Gen1 has inherited overheating problem from Snapdragon 888

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, New Bestseller: Moto Edge X30 Inventory Sold Out, Company Had To Close Pre-Orders Early... 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.

On moto phones, the extreme test of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 is very hot. Please be mentally prepared, 2022 may be “HOOOT” year for Android phones.

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.
