Snapdragon 875 CPU beats Kirin 9000 in latest benchmark, but the GPUs are evenly matched

02 November 2020
These results are based on a Master Lu benchmark run on an S875 engineering device (vs. a Huawei Mate 40 Pro).

        As long as i see snapdragon and kirin with mediatek trying to chase its way on top I'm happy, everything else is irrelevant.

          Android--Master, 03 Nov 2020Who said Antutu scores means it is better only for gaming? ... morePlenty of people have avoided iPhone series this year.
          Got a couple of calls after IPhone 12 series launch from people thanking me for importing and delivering the MI 10 ultra at their doorstep.
          All these guys were previously using Apple or Samsung flagships.

          They wanted an upgrade, were disappointed with the Exynos inside Samsung and lackluster leaks of the iPhone 12. These folks seemed super happy with their decision to avoid Samsung and Apple this year. Plenty of them saved around Rs.40k by ditching weak iPhone 12 Pro Max.

            IPhone performance has always been a joke.
            Apple only knows how to design their CPUs with large cache to cheat on GeekBench.
            Run a real app through and the performance craters.

              Antutu is a compound benchmark which takes into account everything.
              It's much better than GeekBench which judges cpu alone.

              SD875 based smartphones will be twice as fast as A14 based iPhones if you take into account the thermal throttling on A14. Most Android flagships have adequate cooling to prevent such issues especially gaming phones.
              On top of that, those SD875 based smartphones will be running a God-tier OS
              called Android.

              A14 hype has already been smashed into pieces by the Snapdragon (The chipset of choice in the smartphone segment).

                  And rooting doesn't void warranty. Afcourse ppl using 50$ smartphone won't know anything about these things.

                      Still waiting for you to cook up your own "battery test", "performance test" and "camera test" because apparently any independent body that doesn't give good score to iPhones are unreliable to you

                        JDK, 03 Nov 2020So. Geekbench scores show that the 2 are equal, even though... moreNobody cares about GeekBench or Antutu.

                        People do play hardcore games. If you want to play light games, one can do that even on a budget 200$ phone. No need to buy iPhone.
                        And all those games work even better on high refresh rate display with 240hz touch sampling rate which is present on major Android flagships in 2020. Even mid rangers have that.

                        Laptops aren't pocketable.
                        Portable consoles can be easily ported on Android with emulators.
                        Couple that with gaming accessories, one doesn't need a gaming portable.
                        There is no such thing on iPhone.

                        If somebody wants basic phone for opening apps, lighter tasks, no need to buy iPhone or expensive Android phones. And iPhones don't outperform Android in those tasks either.

                          Antutu scores are better for gaming, but tell me, who ACTUALLY plays hardcore games on a phone?

                          You're gonna be playing among us, minecraft, sometimes pokemon go, clash of clans, clash royale, etc. on your phone, all which run smoothly on a 5 year old iPad.

                          If you really need to hardcore game, there are laptops and portable consoles to use.

                          You mainly use your phone to scroll through net feeds, open apps, etc, which iPhones vastly outperform android(because it uses more CPU than GPU).

                            Snapdragon 875 will be released on devices in January-February.

                            You can't compare A14 to SD865 since it released 10 months back and A14 has 5nm Architecture.

                                  SD875 is simply better.
                                  No amount of blind support will change that.

                                    Shadocx, 02 Nov 2020So you're comparing the 7 nm+ SD 865 to 5 nm Apple A14... moreso your comparing a chip released in 2020 with a chip released in 2021... very logical.

                                    It's not our fault that apple's providing 5nm chips before android.

                                    It's been proven that snapdragon 875(with 4125 score) will score close to iPhone 12(4080 score).

                                      YUKI93, 03 Nov 2020Hold on, so it has the same Prime core speed as the 865 but... moreThe clock speed is the same but the Prime core of SD 865 is a custom Cortex-A77.
                                      SD 875 may have a custom Cortex-X1 or Cortex-A78 as the Prime core, even if the clock speed is the same, it will have better performance.

                                        Hold on, so it has the same Prime core speed as the 865 but gains a higher result? I'm really guessing that the 5nm fabricator really comes into play is the core speed is exactly identical as before.
