Qualcomm today unveiled Snapdragon 678 tat is the successor of the 2-year-old Snapdragon 675. Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 vs Snapdragon 675 both processors have octa-core CPU and 11nm size. Qualcomm claim there are new improvements in this processor over the last one in Ai, GPU, and CPU that is make difference in performance.
Let’s compare Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 vs Snapdragon 678 specification, benchmark, key difference and find is really a difference in their performance or they just launched an old processor with a new name. Also, check their Ranking in the best mobile processor list 2020.
As we already told you both processors have Adreno 612 GPU. The difference between their CPU is just on the primary core that is now 2.2 GHz compare to 2GHz. Sd 678 CPU is 2x 2.2 GHz – Kryo 460 Gold (Cortex-A76) 6x 1.7 GHz – Kryo 460 Silver (Cortex-A55) and Snapdragon 675 has little underclocked octacore 2x 2 GHz – Kryo 460 Gold (Cortex-A76) and 6x 1.7 GHz – Kryo 460 Silver (Cortex-A55.
Both processor packed with 3rd generation Hexacon 685 NPU and Spectra™ 250L. Neither of the processors has a 5G Modem.
As we have already seen both processors are almost the same specs and manufacturing processors because of this is not much difference in their Benchmark score.
