Alleged specifications of Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 875 flagship chipset have leaked into the air. It should feature a super-powerful Cortex-X1 processor core running at 2,84 GHz, three powerful Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2,42 GHz and four economical Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1,8 GHz. Behind the leak is a well-known Chinese blogger going by the name Digital Chat Station.

The main Cortex-X1 core should be up to 23% more powerful than the Cortex-A78 core. Digital Chat Station also confirmed that the Snapdragon 875 will be built on a 5nm process (5nm+ process to be precise) and that graphics operations will be handled by the Adreno 660 chip. He added that compared to Qualcomm's current flagship Snapdragon 865 chipset, its successor has a better buffer and memory throughput.

The chipset will compete with the already released Kirin 9000 chip (powering the new Huawei Mate 40 flagship series) and the upcoming Exynos 2100 chip. According to the first measurements, its performance is more than promising - it scored almost 848 points in the AnTuTu benchmark, beating the Kirin 000 by about 18% and more than 9000% "plus" version of the Snapdragon 25. In another benchmark, Master Lu was about 865% faster than the Kirin 3. Exynos 9000, which - along with the Snapdragon 2100 - will apparently power Samsung's new flagship phones Galaxy S21 (S30), has not yet appeared in the benchmarks.

The Snapdragon 875 is to be introduced in early December, and according to the latest unofficial reports, the upcoming "flagship" of Xiaomi Mi 11 will be the first to get it.
