All this talk of preview operating system is more than enough to make heads spin. Let’s talk about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip for a little change of pace from Windows 10 and Windows 10 for Phones preview builds.
Microsoft is sure to use this new solution in upcoming flagship Windows Phone smartphones.
And benchmarks reveal that the mobile processor delivers some really wild performance numbers, at least in synthetic tests. Real world performance will be quite similar, one can expect, which means we are looking at some really big improvements.
In AnTuTu, a popular benchmarking tool, the Snapdragon 810 managed to score 61,499 points.
Really out of this world.
This is, of course, on a test unit with a 2K display running Android 5.0.2. Windows Phone numbers on say, a standard 1080p screen are going to be even better.
Still, this is a solid increase from previous Qualcomm offerings.
The Snapdragon 805 on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 managed 49,136 points on the same test, while the Snapdragon 801 that powers the Sony Xperia Z3 was only good enough for 42,334.
Just for the record, the Apple A8 chip that powers the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus only scored 46,940 points. Meaning the Snapdragon 810 really towers over the competition right now. Excellent news, as the chip goes into production by the middle of March.
We’ll soon see a number of devices running Windows 10 for Phones being powered by the Snapdragon 810 — from Lumia flagships to Windows Phone variant of the HTC One M9 Hima.
And judging by these tests, fans of mobile devices are in for a good time.
