according to above numbers, SD 7 has advantage on processing speed, but not much with other areas? what about heat management? after all, it seems better hearing experience of users than looking at these numbers.

The SD 7+ Gen 2 hasn't been tested yet, I don't think that the SD 888 will beat it. Its performance is being compared with the higher-end 8+ Gen1, therefore, the 7+ Gen2 will be GREAT midrange SoC.

I think sd 888 better in games because of its Andero 660 gpu and higher bandwidth and higher flops 8 series has better gpu than 7 series In cpu sd 7 better (Watched all videos and that what it shows)
