OnePlus 2 may run on a throttled Snapdragon 810, leaked benchmark indicates

This is why the OnePlus team went out of its way to assure us that the Snapdragon 810 beast will be tamed in its newest flagship with several approaches. It will allegedly use the latest, improved version of the chip, v2.1, which will be "fine-tuned both hardware and software"-wise. OnePlus have also allegedly applied a thermal gel coating and graphite inside the phone, gunning for more effective heat dissipation.
The 810 chipset n the other handsets that have it, like the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, is capable of much higher results, but OnePlus might have decided to play it safe, and underclock its v2.1 chipset significantly, in order to avoid any heating issues that might still arise, hence the modes score. We are very curious to see why the additional effort that OnePlus says it has put towards heat dissipation, still requires the thermal throttling we see in the benchmark here, but let's wait for the final retail version to hit the shelves before we jump to any conclusions.
