The listing mentions a device running Android 10 with 8GB of RAM. The chipset, codenamed “Qualcomm Kona” has 8 cores with a base frequency of 1.80 GHz. This likely to follow a Gold and Silver arrangement such as the SD855 where four Gold cores are clocked at a higher speed for performance-heavy tasks while the remaining four Silver cores taking care of efficiency.


This benchmark was run on a device with 6GB of RAM with a base frequency of 1.8 GHz. We expect the final version of the processor to run at a much higher frequency resulting in even better performance. Can Qualcomm finally catch up to Apple in processor performance, we will come to know in December this year.
