One of the reasons for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC getting a high score could be its new cluster setup. Both 4nm SoCs feature a tri-cluster setup but the arrangement differs. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC has a prime core clocked at 3.2GHz and four performance cores clocked at 2.85GHz. It also has three efficient cores clocked at 2.0GHz.

In comparison, the Dimensity 9200 SoC has a prime core clocked at 3.05GHz and three performance cores clocked at 2.8GHz. The MediaTek flagship SoC also has four efficient cores clocked at 1.8GHz. The benchmark numbers can also vary depending on how the respective SoCs are configured in various smartphones.

Considering both SoCs carry a lot of power, it would be interesting to see how well they perform in everyday use, once they make their way to flagship smartphones.

Some specifications of Moto X40 have been leaked recently. The phone is said to have a 6.67-inch OLED display with curved edges on all four sides. It will come with full HD+ resolution and 165Hz refresh rate support. The display is also said to support billions of colors.
