Recently, Samsung had to apologize for throttling certain gaming, performance testing, and other apps on a list that include those that task the Galaxy S22 series Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 chipsets too much.
This could apparently lead to overheating and erratic peak performance bursts so Samsung decided to be on the safe side and throttle the phones’ otherwise mighty powerful processing abilities a bit in the name of staying cool under pressure.
At present, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and Samsung Electronics’ Exynos application processors are in use in most flagship Android phones and these phones are problematic in terms of heating, performance and power consumption. The application processors have been designed by ARM, the same problems have been confirmed in both of those manufactured by Samsung Electronics and TSMC, and thus it can be said that the cause is not the manufacturers but the designer.
