Recently, a high-end mid-range processor appeared on the running sub-platform Geekbench. In the system information column, you can see that the processor is called Xiaolong 680, using a six-core processor architecture, clocked at 2.15GHz. Test model equipped with Android 8.1.0 system, and accompanied by 6GB RAM.
According to data provided by GeekBench, the Snapdragon 680 is a six-core chip. Considering that the Snapdragon 710 is composed of 2 large cores + 6 small cores, the Snapdragon 680 is very likely to be 2 large cores + 4 Small core, may be 10nm process process. Its single-core score reached 1940 points, the overall performance and Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 not much difference, will replace another Xiaolong 660 midrange chip.
Perhaps this is because Qualcomm believes that the new generation 'strongest midrange' is too high and should not be immersed in the 600 series. The name change to 710 is even more imposing. This shows that the Qualcomm still belongs to the 600 series of six-core Qualcomm 680, It should be impossible to compete with the 710.
If there is a Xiaolong flagship processor that was released a few years ago, and the performance of Xiaolong 680, which has recently appeared, is roughly the same, the competitiveness of Xiaolong 680 should be far more advanced than that of previous processors. Because new products will generally adopt new ones. The manufacturing process, while reducing energy consumption, will also be optimized in many ways.
