The Snapdragon 8 Elite does better than Dimensity 9400 in CPU performance. However, in graphics tests, the Dimensity 9400 narrowly beats the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

In this read, we have compared the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro processor which is making a debut with the new Nothing Phone 2a Plus against the Dimensity 7200 Pro which was used in the original Nothing Phone 2a to checkout whether there is any significant bump in performance or is it just the numbers.

Nothing Phone (2a) Plus has been launched and it packs the Dimensity 7350 Pro chipset. The SoC is nearly identical to Dimensity 7200 Pro. The CPU cores along with the CPU cluster are the same, except for the peak frequency. In our tests, the CPU performed pretty well and it didn't throttle even for an extended period. Its GPU also demonstrated great performance and stability.

We have evaluated Dimensity 7300 and Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 by benchmarking both the chipsets on multiple tests. Both processors deliver similar CPU performance, but Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 can't sustain its peak performance for a longer period. The GPU also offers identical performance, but again, the Adreno GPU's stability is on the lower side.

Dimensity 7050 is a year-old chipset, built on TSMC's 6nm process node. It packs eight CPU cores, but they are older ARM cores and only pack 2x Cortex-A78 cores. So the CPU performance is decent at best. The GPU is also on the lower-end side.

While the Dimensity 8300 Ultra is used in mid-range smartphones, it delivers powerful performance in all aspects, be it the CPU, GPU, memory and storage speed, 5G connectivity, and more. As a result, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 loses to MediaTek's chipset in all categories. MediaTek has significantly raised the CPU core frequencies and packed a mighty GPU.
