Is This Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon 845 Performance Leak Legit?
Last month, a user by the handle of Ice_Universe (via WCCFTech), who has in the past leaked information about upcoming mobile processors, claimed that Qualcomm's (NASDAQ: QCOM) upcoming Snapdragon 845 mobile processor, which is likely to power the bulk of the Android flagships released during 2018, achieves a single-core score of between 2,600 and 2,700 in the popular mobile-processor performance test called Geekbench 4.
Qualcomm's best smartphone applications processor, the Snapdragon 835, achieves a single-core score of about 2000. Mid-range and lower-end processors typically score substantially lower than that.
Here's why this result is probably legitimate.
