The Snapdragon 855+ came as a surprise last year. After powering flagships with the regular Snapdragon 855, Qualcomm thought it would be prudent to ship a new SoC with an overclocked GPU aimed specifically at gamers. It doesn’t seem to be a one-off thing now as a Snapdragon 865+ is also reportedly in the works.
According to a tweet by Max Weinbach from XDA Developers, the Snapdragon 865+ will continue with the 1+3+4 CPU arrangement like before. Only this time, the prime core will be clocked as high as 3.1GHz. The mid-cores will apparently be clocked at 2.4GHz and the four efficiency cores will run at 1.8GHz.
When compared to the Snapdragon 865 that powers smartphones like the Realme X50 Pro and the iQOO 3 5G, the clockspeed of the prime core is far higher, promising a boost in CPU performance. The clockspeeds of the rest of the cores remain unchanged according to the report.
Furthermore, we don’t have information about the GPU on the SD865+. Considering what Qualcomm did last year with the SD855+, we do expect some extra GPU chops thrown into the mix.
The Snapdragon 865+ was noticed when the Geekbench scores of the Samsung Galaxy Note20+ leaked out. The listing revealed the Note20+ will have a chipset that’s different from the ones that power the S20 series.
We expect the Snapdragon 865+ to be announced in the second half of this year. The first set of smartphones are expected to launch in July.
