This transition away from a 4+4 design is to a tri-cluster is more optimal for sustained peak performance in a smartphone form factor and should also improve energy efficiency.
big.LITTLE has given way to big, middle, little, with Cortex-A76, A75, A55, and Samsung continues to throw a heavily custom design into the mix.2+2+4 CPU clusters with a shared L3 cache are the staples of Huawei and Samsung’s design. Snapdragon 855 packs the X24 LTE which supports the 2000 Mbps download speed and 316 Mbps upload speed. Benchmarks are a good guide to general performance but certainly doesn’t tell the whole picture. The company’s fourth generation custom CPU core delivers notably more single core grunt than the Cortex-A76 based design found in the Snapdragon 855 and Kirin 980.However, owing to its use of two smaller Cortex-A75 cores for multi-tasking, the chipset doesn’t keep up with the Snapdragon 855 in multi-core workloads.
There are some major design differences with the Snapdragon 855, but the potential of the Cortex-A76 certainly looks impressive.With mobile gaming continues to grab a major share of the global market, there’s good news to be found in this latest round of high-performance SoCs. Huawei made this a key part of its Kirin 980 announcement, which prompted Qualcomm to state it would build its next-gen chip on TSMC’s 7nm process too.
Smartphone SoC technology continues to innovate at an impressive rate.
Why is Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 better than Huawei Kirin 980? However, all three of the chips support 5G via external modems, making it an optional extra for those devices introducing support early.Huawei and Qualcomm are now on TSMC's 7nm, while Samsung is close behind on its own 8nm process.Much more fuss has been made about the race to 7nm. It has a large core Kryo 485 Gold (A76) @Meanwhile, Huawei Kirin 980, at the time of release, was way ahead of SD 845 and other SoCs in 2018.
It’s is based on the The three new processors are equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
Samsung’s chip runs too hot to keep up its peak performance potential.Feature-wise, Qualcomm throws as many extras into its SoC as you could want. The mobile industry is already quickly moving on from 10nm in its pursuit of power efficiency and smaller silicon footprints. This will help make up for the gargantuan custom CPU cores and also allow for some extra GPU cores compared to the Kirin. UFS 3.0 is two times faster than the UFS 2.1 which is a huge improvement and smartphones with UFS 3.0 will launch in Early 2019.Exynos 9820 and Snapdragon 855 supports the UFS 3.0 while Kirin only supports the UFS 2.1.Overall, Snapdragon 855 is much faster and better in all the aspects, Let us know what do you think about all the chipsets in the comments below. Speaking of the CPU configuration, Samsung still follows the same tri-cluster layout with 2+2+4 different cores.
