Dimensity 9400 vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Video Rendering test:

Power consumption

Video rendering doesn't necessarily depend on CPU or GPU speed, it relies on the power of the hardware encoders It seems that the Snapdragon 8 Elite has weak encoders

I have two theories: 1. Snapdragon 8 Elite has poor hardware encoders, causing it to perform worse than Dimensity in video rendering 2. It uses new PC-style hardware encoders, set for the upcoming Snapdragon X Elite Gen 2, needing time for developer optimization

LumaFusion is used in this test because it utilizes encoders correctly on Android

All credit goes to @Cartidise for conducting the test Make sure to follow his account for more reviews and tests

To verify whether it's an OEM optimization issue or not, another rendering test will be conducted tomorrow with the OnePlus 13. Stay tuned!

Which video?
