For the Exynos 2100, the super-large core clocks at 2.91GHz, the large core clocks at 2.81GHz while the small core clocks at 2.21GHz. We can see that the CPU frequency of Exynos 2100 exceeds that of Snapdragon 875 SoC. Furthermore, there are reports that Exynos 2100 has a better energy efficiency ratio than previous generations. This means that the chip will have good power management. Users do not have to worry that this chip will consume more power than the Snapdragon 875 SoC.
According to popular Weibo leakster @DigitalChatStation, from the prototype point of view, the Snapdragon 875 uses a 5nm process technology, with one 2.84GHz super-large core, three 2.42GHz A78 cores, and four 1.8GHz A55 cores. Furthermore, it will also use an Andreno 660 GPU.

In addition, @数码闲聊站 also claims that Xiaomi Mi 11 (tentative name) will first launch the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 flagship chip in China and it will have an “exclusive period” after launch. Outside China, it appears that the Samsung Galaxy S21 will introduce this chip.
Snapdragon 875 hits 847,868 points on AnTuTu
The AnTuTu score of the SD875 shows that it is about 25% better than the SD865. Of course, all expected the Snapdragon 875 SoC to be better but we didn’t think that it will be a huge jump. According to the AnTuTu benchmark, the Snapdragon875 scores 847,868 points. It is not just impressive but unbelievable. For a comparison, Snapdragon 865 scores 663,000 points. The difference between the Snapdragon 865 and 875 about 184,000 points. It is not common to see a difference this big after just one generation. Hence, it’s a big jump for Qualcomm and this will be a good selling point for this chip.
