As reported on mydrivers.com, Samsung will bring the specially made Exynos 8870 SoC for use on smartphones outside of Samsung's offerings. The chip has been designed to be just slightly slower than the flagship Exynos 8890, which is expected to power the next generation of Galaxy S smartphones. While official specifications and performance numbers are unknown, the Exynos 8870 should at least rival the upcoming Snapdragon 820 SoC from Qualcomm.
In an overview of the new high-end SoCs from mydrivers.com, the GFXBench database was used to rank the current crop of flagship smartphone processors. The Red graph shows FPS while the Green graph shows final GFXBench scores separated by single-threaded (opaque) and multi-threaded (translucent) bars.
The popular Apple A9 leads the charge in single-core processing power followed by the upcoming Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 with the Adreno 530 and Mali-T880 GPUs, respectively. Multi-core performance goes to the Exynos 8890 followed by the MediaTek Helio X20 and Huawei Kirin 950. The performance gaps between the Snapdragon 810 and its Snapdragon 820 successor and the Exynos SoCs are quite significant, so smartphones of 2016 should prove to be even more powerful than before.
