Last month, a device with the name “QUALCOMM talos for arm64” was seen on Geekbench. Serial leaker, Roland Quandt said “Talos” is the test bench for a new Snapdragon processor currently known as SM6150. Now another test device has surfaced on Geekbench and this time, it specifically says it is powered by the SM6150.

The Qualcomm sm6150 for arm64 appeared on the benchmark site yesterday. Unlike the Talos benchmark, the scores are higher and there are also some other differences.

The SM6150 test device has 6GB of RAM and runs Android 9 Pie. The processor has 8-cores but its base frequency of 1.80GHz is higher than that of “Talos” which is 1.71GHz. Its scores are also higher – 2598 points for the single core score and 5467 for the multi-core score.

The SM6150 is said to also be an 11nm chipset like the Snapdragon 675. There are also rumors that they are one and the same but there is no confirmation yet. The SM6150 will not appear in devices until next year.

A few days ago, we reported that Qualcomm is working on two new mid-range chipsets called the SM6150 and the SM7150. A Qualcomm test device has been seen on Geekbench and it is said to be powered by the SM6150.

The listing on the benchmark site states the device is called “QUALCOMM talos for arm64”. It also reveals it runs Android 9 Pie and has 4GB of RAM. The processor has a base frequency of 1.71GHz, the same as that of Snapdragon 710 devices.

The device scored 2267 points in the single-core test and 6103 points in the multi-core test. The second listing of the device on Geekbench scored 2257 and 5927 in the single-core and multi-core tests respectively. Irrespective of the scores you go with, they are higher than the scores of the Snapdragon 670 and Snapdragon 710.

"Talos" is the testbench for SM6150. SM7150 is being tested on another board with a different codename.

Some sites have reported that the chipset is the Snapdragon 675, the 11nm SoC announced recently for gaming phones. Popular leaker, Roland Quandt says it is the SM6150 but he isn’t sure it is the same chipset as the Snapdragon 675. He said it isn’t the SM7150, as that is said to have a different test name from “talos”.

Nevertheless, we are pretty excited about the new chipset based on these scores. Qualcomm has a Snapdragon event in Hawaii in December where it is expected to unveil at least one new processor. Hopefully, we may get more info about this chipset at the event.

The post Qualcomm Talos benchmarked, test device for new SM6150 processor appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few weeks ago, Qualcomm announced a new chipset – the Snapdragon 675, an 11nm chipset specifically designed for gaming phones. News of two new chipsets from the manufacturer that also belong to the mid-range category has surfaced. The chipsets are said to be named SM6150 and SM7150.

According to Winfuture.de, who first reported about the two processors, information on the two chipsets have been seen on Github. Both are octa-core processors but with likely different GPU, CPU cores and or clock speeds. That isn’t all that was discovered about the two SoCs.

SM7150

The SM7150 is obviously the more powerful of the two. It appears the Github repositories contain specs of a test device as Winfuture.de mentions a 12MP + 13MP dual rear camera configuration and a 20MP front-facing camera. The display of the said device is said to be QHD+ which means it has an 18:9 or similar aspect ratio.

Most mid-range phones and upper mid-range phones usually stick to HD+ and FHD+, so it is interesting to see that this device has a QHD+ display. There is no info about the CPU and GPU of the SM7150.

SM6150

The SM6150 test device is said to have the same dual-camera setup on the rear as the SM7150 but a 13MP front-facing camera. It also has a 2160 x 1080 display (FHD+) which is reported as being at least 5.99-inches in size.

Winfuture says that LinkedIn profiles of those working on the SM6150 reveal the chipset is built using an 11nm node just like the Snapdragon 675. The SDM675 is manufactured by Samsung, so there is a possibility the production of the SM6150 will also be handled by them.

The two chipsets are expected to be announced next year.
