Snapdragon 865's first Geekbench results match Qualcomm's promises

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

    AnonF-85937, 05 Dec 2019Lol, it only just manages to beat the 2018 A12 in Mutli Cor... moreIt's practically the same as the Apple A13. The Android is a lot different than iOS. The final product will have the same performance in multi-core than the Apple A13. In single-core is inferior, it has less performance, but the multi-core performance compensate the inferior result in single core. The Snapdragon 865 has 8 cores and the Apple A13 has 6 cores, they balance one with the other. There will be phones of Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, One Plus, etc, which will be with the same speed of the Iphone 11 and the other versions.

      Glad to see Sony Xperia with half the ram of China phones (huawi one plus etc) performing well. =)

        Android is my favorite. iOS isn't that user friendly. It will annoy you with so many limitations and restrictions. And look at prices. Unreasonably expensive.

          AnonD-731363, 05 Dec 2019man since they Sacked Johny Ive apple will be pretty happy ... more"Intel 5G modems are rubbish"

          troll speak, laughable.

            Anyone that's like "LMAO Cannot beat Apple, you all suck " is just being stupid. Literally all these flagship chips perform beyond the workload of the heaviest apps on a phone right now. They are meant to be powerful enough to have the phone work smoothly for the next 3 years at least. I get that the IPhone is capable of lasting one or two more but even but, come on, how many of you buying a flagship killer or a flagship will HONESTLY keep one of these phones for more than 3 years?

              AnonF-85937, 05 Dec 2019Lol, it only just manages to beat the 2018 A12 in Mutli Cor... moreApple A12 and A13 don't have crazy multi core scores, it's the single core that is amazing.
              SD 865 just beat A11 in single core score, they are a few years late.

                Mr. All Known Guy, 05 Dec 2019Finally it matched with the same gen Apple A13 bionic in mu... moreIt didn’t match jack, Lol!

                This chip is more comparable to the 2018 A12.

                The A12X and A13 smoke it.

                  Lol, it only just manages to beat the 2018 A12 in Mutli Core score, but loses to it in Single core.

                  Does not even touch the A13! LOL!

                  This thing will be even worse once Samsung put their legacy bloat on top of it.

                    Anyway Intel 5G modems are rubbish so adding that to a Apple phone doesnt makes anything better.

                      Anonymous, 05 Dec 2019There are speed tests, do they count? What speed test has to do with chipset performance? Speed test tests internal memory speed and RAM management not chipset

                        Damne it was already close to Apple chipsets in at least single core performance(exynos chipsets) shame Apple again will be far awsy in performance with their insane A series chipsets

                          Power efficiency and heat dissipation are more important. Very few smartphone users want to play bloated games at maximum settings, if it's speed or GPU performance, the SD855 is more than adequate.

                          Power efficiency and battery life are even more important in 2020, as more phones are going to have a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate display. That will drain the battery rapidly.

                            Really.. is iphone that much good

                              Anonymous, 05 Dec 2019I live outside US. People here had to wait til iOS10 to be ... moreIn real life... The 855+ is even quicker than the A13. Have a look at any phone with an 855+ Snapdragon compared to an iPhone 11 pro max. The snapdragon 855+ leaves A13 for dust...

                              I know for a fact that the 865 is going to roast A13 once android and these handset companies work there magic... And don't forget... Apple is still stuck with 4th generation ram... 865 has 5th generation ram.

                              A13 is over hyped. Go and see for yourself. Do a bit of research on chipsets. And you will see for yourself...

A13 has 6x cores. 855+ has 8 cores. 855+ is actually quicker in real life. See the comparisons on YouTube. Even against 90hz screens too.

IOS is so resticted anyway that it handycaps any speed difference IF there is any as these are 2 different platforms so you cannot compare.

                                      a simple dude, 05 Dec 2019RIP Qualcomm can’t even match the A13 Bionic in their next ... moreThey market the A13 in such a way to make you think it is better than what it actually is. Truth is. In real life the 855+ is quicker than the A13.
                                      Just compare any 855+ phone. And way quicker than A13. Android are way ahead.

                                      Also... The A13 is mainly 6 cores. There are a lot of weaknesses with the A13. Notably certain transfer rates and ram to processor clock speeds. As well as limited 4th generation ram. Where the snapdragon 865 is capable of using 5th generation ram.

It's just that AnTuTu is notorious for being very liberal with actual performance. I find that Geekbench is closer to reality and produces more consistent results.
