According to reports from China, Qualcomm’s next application processor (or rather mobile platform) will be Snapdragon 845, and if accurate, the comparison table below between the Snapdragon processor and Hisilicon Kirin 970 SoC shows the former will be powered by some customized () version of yet-to-be announced ARM Cortex 75 cores.
Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor will be manufactured using Samsung 10nm LPE processor, come with four custom Cortex A75 cores, four Cortex A53 cores, an Adreno 630 GPU, and an LTE X20 modem supporting LTE Cat 18 for up to 1.2 Gbps download speed. Other features like 802.11ad (High bandwidth, short range WiFi), UFS 2.1, and LPDDR4X were already found on earlier model.
I’ve been unable to find further details about ARM Cortex A75 right now, and we have to wait until ARM Techcon 2017 before getting more details. Mobile phones powered by Snapdragon 845 are supposed to start shipping in Q1 2018.

If you want to do something silly ( synthetic core test, not real world ) then get a 2gb s912 Android tv box and download 3Dmark . Run Sling shot extreme, go to best devices and click filters and turn off window, winRT, iOS . Then compare your Android results against Snapdragon processors and Hisilicon Kirin 970 SoC , with better GPU.

What’s your point?
魔改 means it’s a custom core
@jacky
Thanks for that. I’ve updated the post to reflect this important detail…
And A53 keeps chugging along. What a fundamental design.
I doubt this will be manufactured on 10nm PLE. 10nm LPP is in production by the end of the year (Q4 IIRC).

Oddly s912 in 3Dmark Slingshot extreme does better than some higher spec devices.
