Snapdragon 820 and Apple A9 are among the strongest processor that producers love to choose for their premium mobiles. However, if we have to compare them, reports on Antutu will do the trick.
Snapdragon 820 SoC wins over Apple A9
Not so long ago, we gave you the comparison of some chipsets (SND 820, Kirin 955, Exynos 7420, and Helio X25) in the market to find out which SoC is the best. And the trophy went to Qualcomm chipset. This result was not a surprise since SND 82o is now the strongest processor in the market (except for SND 821). So, how about Apple A9 chipset? Can SND 820 beats this Apple SoC and gain the crown again?
Recently, Antutu has posted two charts of top ten smartphone chip CPU and GPU performance. And SND 820 again is standing on the top of both lists. On the CPU chart, this chipset is at the first spot with the scores of 136,383. Taking the second spot is Apple A9. This SoC defeated the others strong rivals like Kirin 950 (4th place) and Exynos 8890 (3rd position) with 132,657 points.
The next positions belong to Exynos 7420, SND 810, SND 652, Apple A8 respectively. The big surprise belongs to the two last spots. SND 650 chipset beats SND 808 to take the 9th place. On the GPU chart, SND 820 continues to be the king with Adreno 530 GPU (55,098 points). Meanwhile, Apple with PowerVR GT7600 GPU again spots the second slot with 39,104 scores. The next places go to Exynos 8890, SND 810, Exynos 7420, Apple A8, SND 805, Kirin 950, SND 808 and SND 652.
Snapdragon 820 SoC: the strongest processor right now
With the top position of two lists, SND 820 is now the strongest processor at the present. Even though the company released a better version of this SoC-SND 821, there is still not SND 821 phone appearing in the market. For this reason, Snapdragon 820 is still the king. This chipset is very popular. It is used in most of the flagship devices like OnePlus 3, HTC 10, LG G5, or Xiaomi Mi 5.
