SNAPDRAGON 835 FIRST BENCHMARKS GEEKBENCH AND DISAPPOINTING SCORES
The Snapdragon 835 will be the processor that will integrate most high-end smartphones from 2017. Today, the first Geekbench benchmarks have been published. If one dwells on the processor part, the scores are disappointing. Yes, but…
CES 2017 will open in a few days. Among the announcements, those of Qualcomm are among the most awaited. The specialist micro-processors should present the Snapdragon 835 , the processor should integrate most high end smartphones in 2017.
Performance enthusiasts therefore look at the information about this processor with a keen eye. Today they will be able to get an idea of what to expect since the first benchmarks of the Snapdragon 835 from Geekbench were published.
Scores mention a chip called "Essential FIH-PM1" and that would be the Snapdragon 835. Unfortunately, the scores as processor strictly speaking are disappointing. Thus, the Snapdragon 835 shows a score of 1844 points in single core and 5426 in multi-core.
For comparison, the Kirin 960 which is integrated with Huawei Mate 9 reached 1900 points in single core and 6500 points by multi-core. This is one of the rare times a Snapdragon processor is beaten by a processor made in Huawei.
Attention however, the name of the benchmark suggests that it is a test platform. And often these platforms make it possible to test the chip to assure it more stabilities, and not to push it in its last entrenchments. There is no doubt that when the Snapdragon 835 is integrated with the high-end smartphones of 2017, the results will be different.
Finally be noted that Geekbench only calculates CPU performance while other factors are taken into account as the GPU or RAM. Other benchmarks are needed to have a real idea of ??the capabilities of the Snapdragon 835. Moreover, others were carried out some time ago, and the Snapdragon 835 is doing remarkably well.
