Snapdragon 875 is equipped with a large core, and its performance can surpass to Apple’s A14

Qualcomm, a leader in the smartphone chip industry, recently announced that it will start its annual Snapdragon Tech Summit on December 1 this year. There is no doubt that Qualcomm will announce the new Snapdragon 875 chip at the summit, which is Qualcomm’s flagship chip for smartphones in the first half of next year.

Many people have high hopes for this chip because it will be built using Samsung’s 5nm EUV process, so there will be a substantial improvement in performance and power consumption, and it also uses ARM’s first super core Cortex-X1. Not surprisingly, the Snapdragon 875 chip will be the only chip with a Cortex-X1 super core next year.

The well-known digital whistleblower Ice Universe recently posted on Twitter that Samsung’s upcoming next-generation flagship chip for smartphones, Exynos 2100, may not use the Cortex-X1 core. This means that it will still use the Cortex-A78 core, which is much slower than the Cortex-X1, so the performance will not be very eye-catching.

But what is puzzling is that the previous Galaxy S21 running score information equipped with Exynos 2100 chip was leaked. The information shows that the main frequency of Exynos 2100 is up to 3.0GHz, which means that it will use 1 super core + 3 large cores + 4 small cores. However, if the Cortex-X1 core is not used, we can only speculate that Samsung may have overclocked the Cortex-A78.

At the same time, the whistleblower also said that because the Snapdragon 875 is equipped with the Cortex-X1 core, it may become the only mobile chip with the performance that can surpass Apple’s A14 Bionic this year.
