            Wow! Straight for blood.
            Though they really really should have opted for no more than 20nm if not 16nm on the 670.

            Though in the end I think we have enough different chip makers

So geekbench is the only available metric. Even if benchmark is not equal to real life preformance, its pretty unconvincing to predict that a soc that sucks at benchmark tests will have great real life performance.

                          2017 will be chipset war for Smartphone manufacturer. They learn what happen to LG with their G6. Apple,huawei & now xiaomi have their own chips to power their smartphone. LG,sony late to react. n Let's see what happen with Nokia/hmd 😂

                            Anonymous, 22 Feb 2017Cores aren't... ok, there is no sense in talking, everybody... moreActually do matter. Look at the Exynos that having more cores, has more performance.

                            Xiaomi also was supposed to use the Mali 880 MP4 for their Pinecone V670.
                            That would put on Snapdragon 808/650 GPU levels.

                            And they would be smashing the Snapdragon 625 and 635 and the Helio P20 hard.

                              Now THAT'S A CHIPSET I like! :D the Pinecone v970 is gorgeous in specs! clock it right and you stole my heart!

                                SadeepaT, 22 Feb 2017NICE JOKE MAN......... !!!!LOL!!! SD 835 was also made by ... moreA9 was manufactured by Samsung and TSMC (sam=14nm, TSMC=16nm)

                                  All things considered all that a processor has to do is run a mobile efficiently not propel a rocket to Mars.

                                    Nice, the Pinecone V970 will be like Huawai Kirin 960, but with better GPU Mali-G71 MP12 vs MP8 on Kirin, plus 10nm vs 16nm. Nice!!

                                        Anonymous, 22 Feb 2017Snapdragon 835 is already trumped by apple's A10 if not A9. It is not "trumped" at all by A10 in real-world scenarios. A chipset does not only mean raw CPU power as you Apple fanboys tend to believe. It contains much more. And even speed is not equal to CPU power. Benchmark apps that test all the components will show that too (for example Antutu).
