Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship mobile processor, theSnapdragon 875, could be significantly faster than its predecessor, the Snapdragon 865/ 865+. That’s according to an apparently leaked AnTuTu benchmark score, which seems to show that the upcoming chipset notched up more than 847,000 points as opposed to the 663,000 scored by its predecessor. If verified as authentic, the result would suggest that the 875 might be as much as 25% faster than the 865.
As for the other leading mobile processors, Huawei’s Kirin 9000 has scored around 696,000 on the same benchmarking platform, whileSamsung’s Exynos 1080managed to notch up around 693,000, possibly making the Snapdragon 875 the fastest mobile processor in the market for most of next year. As forApple’s A14 Bionic, it scores significantly lower than any of the aforementioned chips, but that likely won’t make a difference on flagship iPhones.
Qualcomm is set to officially announce the Snapdragon 875 on December 1, with devices powered by the chip expected to start rolling out in the first few months of next year. If recent chatter is anything to go by, it might well be the fastest mobile SoC at launch, but reports suggest that it might not be the case for long.
