New Snapdragon 835 benchmark shows improved score

Yordan, 07 February 2017

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 is yet to be released in a smartphone, but it's already shaping to be the chipset to beat in the first half of 2017. We already know the Samsung Galaxy S8 will sport the SoC and a few of its competitors will also be using Qualcomm's latest and greatest.

Geekbench tested an alleged Xiaomi Mix Evo powered by the chipset with the name MSM8998 but now a new scorecard shows an improved performance on a reference device running Androud Nougat 7.1.1

The scores aren’t astronomically high, but they are higher than last time and as its development advances chances are it will be capable of breaking performance records.
