YUKI93, 16 Dec 2020Can't really see the whole point of this chipset when ... moreThe 710 was not a replacement for the the 675. the 675 actually has faster 460 cores instead of the 360 in the 710. It was just an alternative to the 670, the actual predecessor to the 710.

    People were complaining "some companies" keep using old socs, so qualcomm found a solutionfor them, same old chip set with a brand new name, win win situation.

      Qualcomm seems being complacent lately. Not giving more what people really wanted in a midrange chipset. Tsk... Better learn form Intel’s experience - that’s why AMD already overtook them recently with their new offerings. Don’t belittle your competition, tech is moving so fast they can catch up in a blink of an eye.

              Can't really see the whole point of this chipset when the 675 itself has been superseded by the 700 series chipset. Let's not forget that the 710 was the replacement for the 675.

                    dbjungle, 15 Dec 2020Every manufacturer that keeps pushing out Snapdragon 665 ph... moreManufacturers are already switching to SD662 or SD460 from SD665.
                    I think cost hindered the adoption of SD 670/675 . They are almost two years old and OEMs can opt for SD720 instead. SD 678 will also face similar problem. This is in asian markets.
                    Other markets might see some SD 678 devices if there is a bigger price gap between 600 and 700 series devices.
                    Pricing is also major obstacle in the adoption of SD 768.

Maybe in a couple of years it will make sense but now..
