FPSVersusSnapdragon 870 vs Snapdragon 888
Performance score
By our estimate, Snapdragon 888 beats Snapdragon 870 by 22%.
The score is our own estimate from the specs (cores, threads, clocks, architecture generation), not a benchmark run. 100 = the fastest CPU in our database. A phone without a fan drops its clocks under long load, so in long tasks (hours of gaming, video) it will be slower than the number shows.
