El Snapdragon 845 is going to become one of the main claims of most of the best smartphones and some of the best tablets of 2018, so it is normal that many were waiting to test its potential for themselves and a few have had the opportunity to do it now, which leaves us the first collection of benchmarks, with large results.
The first benchmarks of the Snapdragon 845
There is still no device on the market that mounts a Snapdragon 845, but it has not been necessary to give the first means the opportunity to put it to the test, since Qualcomm has provided a few with their own prototype so that they can submit it to the tests they want. The results and graphs that we leave you are more specifically those of Anandtech, one of the most exhaustive ever in this field.
The results of Geekbench that you have on these lines are not presented compared to what was obtained by the best smartphones of the previous generation, but simply by cores, so it must be taken into account that in the test of CPUWhat interests us is to check the power that the Cortex A-75 cores will give us compared to the Cortex A-73 that we had in the Snapdragon 835 and the improvement is clear.
But so that you can get a clearer idea of ​​what we can expect compared to specific models (although you have to think that the test device is a prototype, so the applicability is limited) we can take a look at the results in PCMark, which are downright awesome. its GPU Adreno 630 also passes the graphics processing tests with flying colors, as you can see.
In which tablets will we see the new Snapdragon 845?
As we said at the beginning, we can take for granted that the Snapdragon 845 is going to be on most of the big smartphones and phablets of the year, with the exception of those who bet on their own processors, such as Huawei and surely at least one version of the Galaxy S9. On tabletshowever, it is rarer to find next-generation high-end processors.
This year, however, may be an exception, although the way in which they can arrive is certainly not what we could have predicted a while ago, and it is that they will probably do so through a new generation of Windows tablets. The first with ARM processors have still come with a Snapdragon 835, but it is expected a Surface with a Snapdragon 845 and it's probably not the only one.
Should we hope that they will also arrive on an Android tablet? The truth is that we dare not be too optimistic, but nothing can ever be completely ruled out. The best candidate would undoubtedly be the Galaxy Tab S4, now that it seems that it would be confirmed that, at least, it would be among the tablets that Samsung It could present us this year and since the Koreans are the only ones who at the moment continue to leave us interesting things in the high range.
