At last!!
Qualcomm has announced its
flagship System on a Chip (SoC) for
2019: the Snapdragon 855. As Qualcomm has basically no
competition at the high-end SoC
market—especially in the US—the
Snapdragon 855 will be headed to
almost every flagship Android
phone that ships in 2019. Compared to 2018's chip, the
Snapdragon 845, Qualcomm is
promising a 45-percent faster CPU,
a 20-percent faster GPU, and a
platform that will usher in the era of
5G connectivity.
So how is the Snapdragon 855
different from its predecessor, the
Snapdragon 845? First, we're
getting smaller transistors. The
Snapdragon 845 was built on
Samsung's 10nm semiconductor manufacturing process, but the
855 is moving to TSMC's 7nm
process. A smaller manufacturing
process comes with the benefit of
lower power consumption and
smaller chips, and the 7nm node puts the Snapdragon 855 on par
with Apple, which shipped the 7nm
A12 Bionic SoC in the iPhone XS earlier this year.
The Snapdragon 855 is still kind of
built with this 4+4 core layout, but
now one of the big cores has a
boosted clock rate. So the new
Snapdragon 855 CPU is branded
"Kryo 485" and changes to four newer Cortex A76-based cores for
the "big" cluster, with three cores
clocked at 2.42GHz and one
clocked at 2.84GHz. Qualcomm is
calling this boosted core the "Prime
Core." The smaller core cluster uses the same four 1.8GHz Cortex A55-
based cores as the older chip.

Will this give apple's A12 bionic and huawei's kirin 980 a run for their money
