A new benchmark result for the upcoming Snapdragon 875 SoC has revealed some promising figures. The report also pits the next gen Qualcomm processor against the HiSilicon Kirin 9000 chip, which it outperforms on the CPU side while evenly matching its GPU.
According to a GSMArena report, a Chinese leakster shared the score sheet of Master Lu, which had the results on an engineering device. The new processor also features a similar 1+3+4 core layout that was also found in the previous gen Snapdragon 865 processor. However, the Prime core’s clock speed of the new Qualcomm flagship chip is also identical to its predecessor, clocking in at 2.84Hz. This is even below the 3.09GHz clock speeds of the Snapdragon 865+.
In other words, the upgraded core design might be what’s adding to the processor’s performance over the previous iteration, which also allows it to beat out the newly launched Kirin 9000 SoC in the benchmarks. Unfortunately for Qualcomm, the same results are not reflected for its GPU, as the Mali-G78 MP24 evenly matches and trades blow with the custom Adreno GPU designed by Qualcomm.

In CPU performance, the Snapdragon 875 and 865 achieve a score of 333,269 and 290,169 points respectively on Master Lu’s benchmarks, while the Kirin 9000 scored 275,862 points, which is below both chips. Although, in GPU performance, the Kirin 9000 (344,334) managed to gain a negligible lead over the Snapdragon 875 (342,225) and a noticeable one against the older 865 chip (294,913).
Keep in mind that synthetic benchmarks and tests such as these do not always equate to a more powerful device when used in real life scenarios. Furthermore, smartphones that ran two chips also ran with different memory configurations as well. So take this report with a pinch of salt, and stay tuned for more updates regarding the new Qualcomm SoC.
