Everyone is eager to forget the Snapdragon 810 issues and move on to the 820. Early processor benchmarks didn't wipe out the competition, but maybe the new Adreno 530 GPU could impress.
Qualcomm promised a 40% performance improvement on top of a 40% power reduction over the Adreno 420 used in the S810.
Early GFXBench tests show the difference can be even bigger than expected. Only the iPhone 6s Plus GPU, the PowerVR GT7600 (6-core), comes close and even that one doesn't quite catch up. Even the Google Pixel C (a large tablet with a Nvidia Tegra X1 chipset ) barely wins out.
Higher is better
Higher is better
This is, of course, assuming the benchmark score is legit. And it says nothing of the promised battery savings.
Thanks to madstunt for the tip!
No, just so you know, the PS4 has the Pitcairn core, aka the HD7870. The XboxOne uses the HD7850 core.
What are some of you going on about? A 4 core, big.LITTLE Snapdragon 830 is a monster CPU. The IPC is above and beyond Exynos.
