Apple A12 Bionic Vs Snapdragon 855 Plus - Which One is Better?

BEST PROCESSOR-Apple Or Qualcomm?

Apple's A12 Bionic chip and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 plus are two of the strongest processor used for manufacturing latest smartphones (best phones) with high-performance quality.

A12 Bionic & Snapdragon 855

With A12 Bionic chip powering most of the iPhones in 2019, Qualcomm's snapdragon 855 is used in many android devices like in Samsung, Nokia, LG and more. Both of these processors are best at what they do and provides ultimate performance experience.

Although Apple's A12 Bionic chip was 28% faster than Qualcomm's predecessor snapdragon 845, this new processor is giving tough competition to Apple and this is one of the reasons why most of the Android Smartphones manufactured in 2019 have Snapdragon 855 in it.

In this blog, we will be giving a detailed description about both the processors with proper analysis and in the end, we will give our final verdict about which one among these two is the fastest when it comes to performance.

Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 855+

Snapdragon 855 plus is the new addition to Qualcomm's mobile platforms after Snapdragon 855. This processor has improved graphics, enhanced CPU performance, and 5G connectivity as well that makes it one of the Best Mobile Platform for Gaming and High-end performance.

The introduction to 5G connectivity makes your gaming experience more satisfying than before and Qualcomm® Snapdragon Elite Gaming™ comes with multiple new hardware & software features that makes your overall gaming experience more efficient.

Snapdragon 855 processors have a 64-bit microarchitecture and use 7nm fabrication process technology.

The Snapdragon 855 Plus comes with 8-core configuration. Instead of comprising the two cluster arrangement, Qualcomm opted for a tri-cluster arrangement that supports eight Kryo 845 cores clustered across a single Cortex A76 core. These clusters provide high performance, low latency rates, improved task-sharing capacities, and high efficiency.
