Cooling system doesn't help: Xiaomi 12 Pro has overheating problems due to Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor

Xiaomi has recently introduced new flagships Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro, and specialized publications in China have already started publishing the first reviews. From them it becomes clear that the older model (and, rather, the younger one) has serious overheating problems.

What's wrong?

Apparently, the problem with the "hot temper" of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor. Qualcomm's chips have been prone to overheating lately, but the company continues to improve performance by putting the fight against heat generation on the shoulders of smartphone manufacturers. So, Xiaomi 12 Pro received an improved cooling system, but tests show that this is not enough.

Stress test CPU Throttling Test the smartphone is not confident - the frequency drops by more than 40% from the maximum, and quite quickly. The average value is 210 GIPS, which is slightly worse than the result of the Xiaomi Mi 11.

Under prolonged loads, the flagship does not slow down and still works smartly, but does not give out maximum performance. The case does not get hot enough to burn your fingers, but, nevertheless, the gadget heats up and is subject to throttling.

Journalists write that when starting heavy games, at first the smartphone stably holds 60 frames per second, but after 15-30 minutes drawdowns occur. Depending on the game, the average frame rate is 51-53 frames per second, and the case temperature is 43-44.4 ° C.
