Early results put it below Apple's A12 SoC

With the first smartphone announced with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8150 SoC, it was just a matter of time before we see some leaks in the usual benchmark databases.

Although these do not appear to come from the foldable Flexpai, the results from the Geekbench database show some details but still do not confirm previous rumors of the 2+2+4 CPU core configuration.

In Geekbench 4.1 multi-core, the reference 7nm Snapdragon 8150 device scores a good 10,084 points, which is just below the Apple's A12 in the iPhone XS Max, and above the 7nm Kirin 980 in the Mate 20 Pro. The single-core performance is rather surprising at 3,181 points, as it falls below the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and far out of the reach of the single-core performance of Apple's A12 SoC.

Of course, these are probably just early results of the reference platform which might not be running at final clock speeds, and it does not show the overall performance, which usually has a lot to do with the GPU side, where Qualcomm's Adreno usually shines.

The benchmark results of the Snapdragon 8150 (or Snapdragon 855, whatever Qualcomm decides to call it in the end), were originally spotted by Roland Quandt from WinFuture.de, who also claims that Qualcomm is working on two new mid-range SoCs, which should be ready in 2019, the Snapdragon 7150 and the Snapdragon 6150.
