SoC is what the public calls "processor/chip", which is the most core component of mobile phones. For most models, choosing a mobile phone is choosing a SoC. But soCs are numerous and easy to see.
For the convenience of comparison, the SoC specifications of the models on sale in 2022 are listed in order of ladder, in reverse order according to the CPU multi-core performance, and single-core is taken when multi-core is approached. Because of the large number of products involved, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, and it is hoped that they will not hesitate to correct.
Basic description
SoC is an abbreviation for System on Chip system on chip, including cpu (which affects running speed), GPU (affects game performance), baseband (affects network) and other core components.
The CPU first looks at the architecture (X2≈X1> A78> A77> A76>>A75> A73>>>A55/A53), and then look at the number and frequency of large cores. For A76 and above architectures, there is a cache difference between the very large core and a significant performance difference at the same frequency.
Apple A series is a performance core + energy efficiency core (giant core + large core), energy efficiency core is Android large core level, can not be directly compared with the Android camp.
The bold label is the "recent" new product, and at the same time put in some familiar old friends SoCs, which is convenient for everyone to compare the machines of different generations.

MediaTek G95/G90T/G90/G96, TSMC 12nm FFC, 2x2.05G A76+6x2G A55, Mali-G76MC4, frequencies are 900, 800, 720MHz, respectively. The most special G96 is the product in the third quarter of 2021, the GPU is changed to Mali-G57MC2@950MHz (commonly found in offline entry machines, the "here the water is deep" series, brazenly called the game core. The CPU and GPU are about 70% to 80% of the performance of the Tianji 900.
Snapdragon 835, Samsung 10nm, 4x2.4G class A73+4x1.9G class A53, Adreno 540@710/670MHz (2017 flagship standard, energy efficiency biki high, Xiaomi Mi 6 "nail household" pride. The CPU single-core is only 70% of the G95 series, and the multi-core is 80% of the G95, but the GPU can kill the Snapdragon 765G after N years, which is about 30% stronger than the G90)

GPU performance is more than 2 times that of MediaTek's G80 family, but the CPU is a 2+2 structure, with only 60% of the G80's performance. When it was first released, it was a bit stuck, harmful, not to mention now)
MediaTek G35/G37, 12nm FFC, 4x2.3G + 4x1.8G A53 (MediaTek G37 is new at the end of 2021, can you believe it?) ）
