Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+
Qualcomm's July 2019 up-clocked Snapdragon 855 lifts the prime Kryo 485 core to 2.96 GHz and rates the Adreno 640 GPU about 15% faster than the standard 855. It stays on 7nm with an integrated X24 LTE modem, adds 5G through an external X50, and appeared in phones such as the ASUS ROG Phone II and OnePlus 7T.
Pros
- Prime Kryo 485 core reaches 2.96 GHz, against 2.84 GHz on the standard Snapdragon 855
- Adreno 640 GPU rated for about 15% faster graphics rendering than the standard Snapdragon 855
- Hexagon 690 AI engine rated above 7 TOPS
- Integrated X24 LTE modem reaches 2 Gbps download, with mmWave and sub-6 GHz 5G available through the separate X50 modem
- Spectra 380 ISP with dual 14-bit CV-ISPs supports 4K HDR video capture with HDR10+
Cons
- The integrated modem is LTE only; 5G needs the separate Snapdragon X50 modem
- Built on 7nm around 2019-era Cortex-A76 cores, an older generation than the Cortex-A77 and newer cores in later Snapdragon chips
Awaiting benchmarks
No Inno Score yet: CPU and GPU still need a published benchmark result.
