Sneak preview of Qualcomm's 2020 flagship mobile processor
By now, you're probably aware that Qualcomm has announced two new mobile processing platforms that will power the majority of devices of interest in 2020. We've also got a deep-dive of what makes the Snapdragon 865 tick for Qualcomm to position it as the flagship processing platform next year such as it's renewed Kyro 585 CPU block, faster and more efficient Adreno 650 GPU block, a much more advanced DSP and AI processor with the Hexagon 698 and much more.
At the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2019 Tech Summit, we also had a chance to go hands-on with a reference Snapdragon 865 powered phone to get a feel of what the new flagship is capable of and it's now time for us to share what we've found.
As you can see, this is a reference Snapdragon 865 powered phone and it's just a representative of what to expect in the coming months ahead. Actual performance will vary based on vendor implementation, drivers and much more.
JetStream 1.1
Unlike the JetStream 2 that we execute these days that is a combination of a variety of JavaScript and Web Assembly benchmarks (including benchmarks that came before like SunSpider and Octane), we were only given access to run JetStream 1.1 tests at the summit. While the results below aren't cross-comparable with JetStream 2 results, what we can deduce at this point in time is that it makes short work of the Javascript workloads. We'll be sure to run more updated benchmarks once we get a unit from a vendor.

Double-checking that it's indeed a Snapdragon 865 powered device and you can also gather that it has 12GB of system memory.
On with the benchmarks!

AnTuTu
AnTuTu is an all-in-one benchmark that tests CPU, GPU, memory, and storage. The CPU benchmark evaluates both integer and floating-point performance, the GPU tests assess 2D and 3D performance, the memory test measures available memory bandwidth and latency, and the storage tests gauge the read and write speeds of a device's flash memory.
Here again, we're faced with some discrepancies such as the test phone loaded with version 8 of the test, while we're using version 7 at this point of time. Still, the score of over 550,000 seems to point that the Snapdragon 865 can best even the fastest current mobile processor as seen in this AnTuTu benchmark compilation - the iPad Pro (2018)'s Apple A12X Bionic Processor.
