Set micro-network messages (text/Luoming)In the past two days, an uninvited guest arrived on Geekbench's branch website. It was Qualcomm's next-generation processor, the Snapdragon 680. The data showed that it was a six-core processor with a clock speed of 2.15GHz, although the core is eight cores more than the current mainstream. The processor has two fewer cores, but it performs well on machines with an Android 8.1 operating system and built-in 6GB of memory. The single-core running score is as high as 1987, and the multi-core running score is as high as 5000 points.
Its single-core performance can be described as horrible. Let's compare it with the recent commercial Qualcomm Xiaolong 710. On the vivo NEX machine, the Xiaolong 710 single-core run is divided into 1833 points, and the multi-core run is divided into 5805 points. 710 also dominates in multi-core run points.
We finally took Qualcomm’s previous flagship chip, the Dragon 835PK. The model tested was one plus 5T. The data showed that Xiaolong 835 had a single core run of 1,860 points, and the multi-core running score was 5959 points. It still lost the single-core performance. 680.
Comparing with the running scores of Xiaolong 710 and Xiaolong 835, it is not difficult to find that Xiaolong 680 has surpassed the first two in terms of single-core performance. If Qualcomm added two cores to Xiaolong 680, it might be difficult to determine. Dragon 680 can overcome the former two.
Taking into account that Xiaolong 710 and Xiaolong 835 are both 10nm processes, it is not difficult to conclude that the single-core performance is superior to theirs. The process of Xiaolong 680 is also a 10nm conclusion. As for the architecture of Xiaolong 680, it may be composed of 2 large cores + 4 small cores. This chip is likely to be used to replace the Snapdragon 660. It is expected to cost less than the Snapdragon 710. It is the most affordable solution for most midrange machines.
As to when the Xiaolong 680 chip will be launched, it will not be clear whether the chip will be launched or not. Perhaps the answer will be announced in the second half of this year.
