Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 was a remarkable processor for mobile devices at the time. It was manufactured using the efficient 10 nm process. This contributed significantly to its good energy efficiency. Its Kryo 385 architecture formed the core of this chip. It offered solid computing power for many everyday tasks.

The integrated Qualcomm Adreno 630 graphics took care of the visual representation. It enabled a smooth display of content. We were convinced of its general reliability and robustness. The Level 2 and Level 3 caches of 2 MB each supported fast data processing. A maximum memory bandwidth of 30 GB per second supported it.

This allowed it to remain responsive even with more demanding applications. In Cinebench 2024, it achieved 30 points in Single-Core. In Multi-Core, 148 points came together. This shows its capabilities very well at the time. Overall, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 was a balanced and well-rounded thing.

It delivered a good mix of performance and efficiency for its time.
