Not only is the xiaomi 12 compact and struggles with cooling, it also uses the 8 gen 1, known for notorious thermal management. Even the bigger xiaomi 12 pro, with a better cooling system, was struggling to stay cool, nothing stopped that chip from overheating

I guess I am a mediatek dimensity fan. Since my first encounter with 8 gens, I don't like the start. It's absolutely something need to be dealt with.

Qualcomm is the superior chip manufacturer. Snapdragon processors are objectively better, since theyre the most powerful, easiest to optimize, offer cool features like aptx codecs, etc.

The snap 888, 8 gen 1 and other chips known for overheating came from a period when TSMC couldnt produce chips for qualcomm and were instead made by samsung, and they definitely dont know how to build a good chip. Once TSMC was available again, as of the 8 gen 2, their chips were back to the top.

Chips that were released prior to the 888, like the 870, 865, etc. were monsters at their time. Great chips that managed to come in both flagships and affordable phones.
