Today (11th December) Qualcomm officially launched their latest Snapdragon 820 chipset in China, where they also showed off a prototype phone running the chip which was quickly benchmarked.
After officially launching the Snapdragon 820 in China, Qualcomm let the press get to grips with the power of the SD820 by handing out prototype demo phones with the powerful new chipset.
Snapdragon 820 Antutu Benchmarks
As well as boasting that new processor the device also had Android 6.0 running a ultrasonic fingerprint scanner built in, 2K display, 3GB RAM, 64GB internal memory and 21 mega-pixel camera, but best of all Chinese tech journalists managed to run Antutu V6.0 on it!
Gizchina News of the week
The benchmark results are impressive to say the least with the SD820 powered phone managing an astonishing 131,648!
So performance is supersonic on a phone with the Snapdragon 820, so who will launch a phone equipped with the chipset first? Xiaomi, LeTV, Huawei, Vivo, Oppo and even Meizu could be in for the running.
hahaha !
It would be if it wasn’t v6.0, let’s not forget that the Intel z3735f low power bay trail scores over 85000! I still think this scores less than the kirin 950 that got over 90000 in the previous version.
The 90,000 of the Kirin 950 is on the 6.0 version as wwell
We can only compare if they put v5.7.1 on it and then run the tests
Hardcore!!!!
For the rest of us it is meaningless numbers until we actually see a SD820 phone in action.
Its a fingerprint scanner that can be hidden behind the display or the front chin of a phone so you can touch that area instead to scan your fingerprint.
Hence: Small bezel on all sites of the phone are possible. Big screen in a phone with short length!!!
What a beast, but this is a demo device, so I expect actual scores to be a tad lighter, say around the 120K mark.
As I predicted this blows out the Kirin 950 in graphics, so Samsung`s new SoC should offer around 150 000 in Antutu.
i used to play the GTA2 flawlessly with the SD801.
I’m sure with the new SoCs you can play even the last GTAs
I play GTA on the X10 without issues.
by last GTA hope you don’t mean GTA V
maybe not soon, but with the speed they are going we might see it running in a couple of years
This is getting out of hand, unless someone is planning to launch an Android Desktop there is no point in those kind of SoCs, its like buying an Intel i7 for your facebook machine.
I’m more exited about the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
There’s no such thing as too much power period. Even though I won’t be able to buy it for now it will open ways for many other things and make cheaper roads for the affordable phone lines to benefit from older but decent SoCs like the Zuk Z1 does.
16 core SD850 clocked at 3.5ghz Heck yes please !!!
12 core MtK X60 at 4.0ghz TAKE MY DARN MONEYS!!!
14 CORE KIRIN 1230 At 3.8ghz KEEP THEM COMING!!!
So yeah no such thing as TOO MUCH POWER!!!!
This is not bigger tits. But rather about reducing the impact that new raw power has over the whole market. We are not here because of computers. The page is mainly about Chinese cellphones and other gizmos hence the name (I believe)
So yes “”we would never se dual cores as those were not necessary”” and now we have multiple choices. So from the 808 801 X10 820 805 X20 410 etc if we stayed put at that point we would still be worshipping the K300 from Sony Ericsson. Bite me 🙂 😀
More so I’m up to the point where I just want a decent phone to do without a PC or laptop and better have a WiFi screen and Bluetooth mouse and keyboard for when at home/work and a WiFi protector for bedroom TV/movies. I’m of the kind not to be cluttered with 10 different device to which I most keep account synced and stuff. And I think that’s the idea Google had in mind when sourcing that nice NEXUS 6 FORM MOTOROLA. So yes …
Even more power to the small device!!!
And long live the automatic/winding wristwatch 😉
