Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Benchmark, Test and specs

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 8 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the A-Core is 2.84 GHz. The number of CPU cores greatly affects the speed of the processor and is an important performance indicator.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. Specifically, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 uses the Qualcomm Adreno 650, which has 512 texture shaders and 2 execution units. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

The processor supports a maximum memory capacity of 16.0 GB distributed across 4 memory channels. It offers a peak memory bandwidth of 71.3 GB/s. Both the type and quantity of memory can have a substantial impact on the overall system performance.

The processor has a thermal design power (TDP) of 10 W watts. TDP indicates the cooling solution needed to effectively manage the processor's heat. It generally provides an approximate indication of the actual power consumption of the CPU itself.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 is manufactured using a 7 nm process. A smaller manufacturing process indicates a more contemporary and energy-efficient CPU. In total, this processor boasts a generous 4.0 MB cache. A substantial cache can significantly enhance the processor's performance, particularly in scenarios like gaming.
