      AnonD-731363, 16 Jul 2019So is this CPU which will be released around that time. S... moreThis is to SD 855, what SD 821 was to 820. The true successor to SD 855 will be announced in December. Qualcomm decided to take advantage of the fact that 7 nm process has matured since, and they can achieve higher clock speeds on the same chip now. This is merely a stop-gap.

                      Sd865 would be coming soon!This Sd855+ no meaning for market.

                        Max 15% extra speed is practically nothing. No real world app will meaningfully benefit from this.

                        Some company will get to brag about best benchmark scores.

                        That's it.

                          oh the sd855 is so old and slow now...

                            Maybe they don't want to release 2 flagship chip on one year and this can make people expectations higher.
                            i think if they release two chip one first half to fight with samsung chip and one in next half for fighting with apple and huawei chips is good choice but it need too much resource for qualcomm and ...

                              DavidRegalJnr, 15 Jul 2019Would still be in the level of A11 gpu though..lolWhat do u expect from mobile gaming? The graphic is crap compare to console even PC. What mobile GPU can do today (SD845 GPU for example) is useless if the graphic of mobile games are so so. Remember, the better graphic the larger file size of the game. That's why modern console and PC games are very big in size.

                                Anonymous, 15 Jul 2019This is just stupid and only made so manufacturers make new... moreLol.. Even tough more people use SD855 just for streaming, media social, browsing, chatting, and do light gaming than people who is power enthusiast and hardcore gaming.

                                Mobile gaming graphic is not as good as console n PC. It's just marketing gimmick to make people always buying new phone because SD855 is quite fast for everyday usage.

                                    Shadocx, 15 Jul 2019Where did you read that they are releasing this at the end ... moreIt's more of a binned version than just overclocked. There's no TDP room for overclocking. But there's room for more cash by selling for a premium the SD855 that are more efficient due to not being kinda defective.

                                      Aps25, 15 Jul 2019At this point in life after using all latest flagships i be... moreYes, ARM Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A76 are totally the same *sarcasm*
                                      You're saying that just because the clock speed is close.
                                      But the cores aren't the same, neither are the GPU, RAM etc...
                                      Real life performance? Well if you're just opening phone, message and social media apps ofc you won't notice the difference.
                                      You're not doing anything to push the SoC to it's limit and show it's true power.

                                        This isn't the succesor of the SD 855 it's just overclocked 855 like there was an overclocked SD 820 called SD 821.
