05 December 2019
But incremental upgrades aren't enough to catch up to the market leader, Apple.

Is there any other cpu core manufacturer except arm?

    Anonymous, 05 Dec 2019So it matches last year's Exynos and A12. Looking forward ... more855 is already better than Exynos as a whole. Exynos is only better on single core but at the expense of huge battery consumption.

      dude111, 06 Dec 2019I don't think you actually read that article...Indeed he didn’t, LOL!
      You know how these Apple haters are, they get very emotional and try to runaway from the facts even when the facts are right there telling them that their latest chip is only comparable to a year old Apple chip. It really gets them desperate and grasping at straws.

      Reaching is what they do best.

          Anonymous, 05 Dec 2019Tho exynos is bad in multi core a few 1000 behind And GPU... moreBad in multi core??
          Gpu normally trash? That's why it of all the generations the exynos actually had a better or dual gpu for about half of them. And sometimes that was from less throttle.
          And the mali g77 in the upcoming exynos will at the minimum match if not surpass the adreno 660.

            Hopefully thos year is different but they gonna lose they single core lead

              So it matches last year's Exynos and A12.
              Looking forward to the s11(Exynos) variant since most flagships this year would be using SD 865.

              Although most users won't notice much of a difference in day-to-day tasks.

                  Then I remember last year the SD 855 had leaked on Geekbench with 3k single core score, in the end it scored 3.5-3.6k when phones came out with it, so you should take this early benchmark with a grain of salt.

                    When Samsung and the others put in their bloat it will be even worse.

                      NipponFan, 05 Dec 2019Glad to see Sony Xperia with half the ram of China phones (... moreLol, my OnePlus 7 scores 3600 in single and 11300 in multi.
                      Then I don't think having more RAM will really affect Geekbench, or I could say Apple whoops your ass with even less RAM.
                      Anyway, go complain somewhere else about your low RAM dear Sony fanboy, this is GSM Arena, not Sony service center.

                        Everybody wants the best performance in a smartphone, but they literally have just facebook, instagram, whatsapp and 2, 3 games install on their phones.
                        Insert Humans meme.

                          You guys are very very very very very seriously underestimating just how powerful this 865 actually is... It is way better than the A13...

                          Do you realise how many weaknesses the A13 has? It's AI is nothing compare to the 865

                          Do you realise just how small the ram clock speed is it can handle? Notice they didn't tell you that?

                          Well... The 865 handles effortlessly a ram clock speed of 5500 mhz...

                          Do you realise how pathetic the A13 is compared to this? That is why they didn't tell you that. Next year apple will be using 6gb of ram. Why?

                          Because they are stuck with 4th generation ram.

                            8K, 4K60hdr/120 and 960fps is enough to drool over new phones, the rest of features aside.

                              AnonF-85937, 05 Dec 2019It didn’t match jack, Lol! This chip is more comparable... moreRubbish. 865 is better than A13. Even the 855+ is quicker in real life than A13.

                                  They make you think it's better. Why? So people like you go and buy it. And think your the best. When actually... Not really. Just a clever way of getting you to hand over hundreds of dollars.

It doesn’t support 144hz displays. It doesn’t have lpddr5 ram. It doesn’t support 200 mp cameras and it doesn’t support 8k30 video recording. In real world use they’ll perform around the same. Over time, the 865 might become better because of Qualcomm’s updatable gpu driver.
