Snapdragon 865 pitted A13 Bionic: 'One more pain' for the Qualcomm team

The Snapdragon 865 is the latest and most powerful mobile chip Qualcomm has ever made, but it may not yet be the most powerful smartphone in the world.

Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 865 flagship processor at the Snapdragon Tech Summit on December 3. As usual, the Snapdragon 865 will undoubtedly be the chip that will be on the top smartphones of the majority of Android manufacturers next year, while taking on the burden of beating Apple's rival A13 Bionic in terms of performance. . However, this seems to be an 'overwhelming' task for this product.

The Snapdragon 865 is the latest and most powerful mobile chip Qualcomm has ever made, but it may not be the most powerful smartphone in the world because of the Ice Universe 'leak. an image of the Geekbench score allegedly scored by Snapdragon 865 on Twitter, with a single-core score of 4,303 and a multi-core score of 13,344, significantly worse than the score of 5,472 (single-core) and 13,769 (multi-core) of A13 Bionic (measured on iPhone 11 Pro).

This may frustrate many of the `` hard fans '' of Snapdragon but are not beyond the expectations of the experts because traditionally, the Snapdragon 8xx CPU models have always had worse performance than the chip model from Apple. eye same year. A13 Bionic processor is being equipped on the latest iPhone models with 6 cores (2 high-performance cores, 4 energy-efficient cores) and 4-core GPU. With 8.5 billion transistors, A13 delivers 20% faster speed, 15-40% more energy savings than A12 Bionic thanks to being manufactured on 7 nm + process.

However, that's still not the worst thing with the Snapdragon 865, if the Ice Universe benchmark results are true, this chip also has a worse single-core score than Samsung Exynos 9825 (4,500 points).

Anyway this is just an untrue information given by a 'leaker', but it is clear that Qualcomm cannot be satisfied and they are required to make the necessary changes on the new product line to compete against the other. prime. After years of playing the stalker, can Qualcomm catch up to Apple in processor performance? Perhaps we will have to wait at least another year for a satisfactory answer.
