Such conclusions were drawn by 3Dnews employees based on a statement by Judd Heap (head of the company's product division). Recall, currently the best chip for smartphones is the Snapdragon 855 model based on 8 Kryo 485 cores, the clock frequency of each of which is from 1.8 to 2.8 GHz. In addition, the Adreno 640 graphics accelerator is implemented and 4G modem support is provided. What to expect from new chips?
Snapdragon 865 processor features
Currently, representatives of a generation that has not yet appeared are conditionally designated Snapdragon 865. However, Heap immediately noted that the name is not final or official. It is known that upgraded chips will support HDR10 +. In addition, they will include a 5G modem for working in new generation networks. The remaining parameters of new products have not been disclosed. Nevertheless, one can guess that 865 will receive at least 8 Kryo cores with a new generation accelerator. Apparently, commercial phablets will appear on sale on the basis of new processors no earlier than in 2020.
