Possible Snapdragon 855 Device Spotted on Geekbench Running Android Pie
Sep. 4, 2018An unidentified Qualcomm chipset has just popped up onGeekbench, revealing impressive scores both on the single-core and multi-core tests. Codenamed‘msmnile’, the chip got a single-core score of 3,697 and a multi-core score of 10,469, both of which are significantly better than theSnapdragon 845, but fall somewhat short ofApple A11 Bionic that powers the iPhone X.
As can be seen in the accompanying image, the chipset was seemingly paired with 6GB of RAM in benchmarked test device running Android Pie. The listing also shows that the chip will come with an integrated octa-core CPU that was clocked at 1.78GHz for the test, but if it’s indeed the Snapdragon 855, it will likely have a higher max clock-speed in most devices.
It’s also worth noting here that, the test device powered by the aforementioned‘msmnile’was alsospotted at HTML5test, where its Chrome browser (Dev version 68.0.3440.91) scored 510 out of a possible 555 points.
Reports last month suggested that OEM sampling for the Snapdragon 855 had already started, so it won’t be a massive surprise if the benchmarked chip indeed turns out to be Qualcomm’s next-gen top-of-the-line SoC that’s expected to herald the 5G era for mainstream consumers.
