The Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 (SD765 Mobile Platform) is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It integrates eight cores (octa-core, called Kryo 475) divided into two clusters. A fast performance cluster contains two ARM Cortex-A76 cores clocked at up to 2.3 GHz (prime core) and 2.2 GHz (gold core) and a power efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. Depending on the workload only single clusters or all cores can run at different clock speeds.
Compared to the gaming optimized Snapdragon 765G, the 765 offers -100 MHz less clock speed on the prime core and a lower clocked GPU.
The processor performance is quite comparable to the old Snapdragon 730G. Only the single core performance can be slightly better, thanks to the higher clocked prime core.
The chip is one of the first SoCs that integrate a 5G modem. It is called Snapdragon X52 and supports speeds of up to 3.7 / 1.6 Mbps (down- and upload) and mmWave and Sub-6.
The integrated Adreno 620 offers a 16.7% lower performance than the same GPU in the SD 768G and also misses some of the softare gaming features.
The integrated AI engine uses the GPU, CPU and dedicated cores to reach a theoretical maximum performance of approx. 5.5 TOPS (value from the slightly faster SD 768G).
The processor is manufactured in the modern and energy efficient 7nm EUV process at Samsung.
