The Snapdragon 810 AnTuTu result was 61,499. This is a record breaking result for the popular benchmark tool from AnTuTu.
After it has been scarred with overheating concerns and long lasting delays in the recent weeks (claims that have been entirely rejected by the company), it seems like the Snapdragon 810 that features a 64 bit 1.56GHz octa-core is going to make it to smartphones after all. And with the results we got from our testing, we can honestly say that you couldn’t wish for any more power than this.
According to the tests we’ve performed on it, the high performance, high profile Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset seem like it’s offering even more power than the Exynos chip that will most likely power Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 smartphone.
Keep in mind that benchmarks offer just an indication of how the chipset will perform in an actual tablet or smartphone. However, these tests showed us an insight of what we can expect the chipset to deliver when actually being used inside a device. The Snapdragon 810 put on a 2K display in an Android 5.0.2 test unit, revealed to us a score of 61,499 in the very popular test suite from AnTuTu. This is definitely a record-breaking score.
Samsung’s Exynos 7420 chip, according to some recently leaked information recorded a score in the same benchmark of 60,978. The South Korean company ditched Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 chipset in favor of the Exynos 7420 one. Even though there isn’t much of a difference in the scores of the Snapdragon 810 and Exynos 7420, there is definitely a huge gap between Qualcomm’s newest chipset and the older Snapdragon 805 and 801.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4, powered by the 805 scored in the benchmark tests in AnTuTu 49,136 and the Sony Xperia Z3, powered by the 801 scored 42,334. On top of this, it seems that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 chipset offers more processing power than Apple’s A8 chip which can be found in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The Apple A8 chip scored “only” 46,940.
Even though Samsung has not yet confirmed that it will use its own Exynos chip in the Galaxy S6, numerous reports definitely point toward that direction. Even Qualcomm admitted that a major customer has dropped them as manufacturers of chipsets in favor of others.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 chipset is expected to be used in many upcoming smartphones and other devices. It’s also been said that it will power the Sony Xperia Z4, the LG G4 and HTC One M9. For the people that plan to purchase one of the new tide of flagship devices, do not worry, this chip does not compromise the life of the battery in favor of sheer performance.
Other than offering great power, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 also supports 4K displays, many battery management adjustments made especially so that your high-end smartphone of choice will go through a day full of heavy use with great ease, as well as enhanced camera specifications along with many other impressive new features.
The first device that will use the new Snapdragon 810 chip from Qualcomm has been recently unveiled. The LG G Flex 2 is set for launch later this month.
