The Samsung Galaxy S7 flagship will probably be powered by a system-on-a-chip that benchmarks quicker than the Apple A9 SoC. However the South Korean cellphone maker is working laboriously to make sure over heating is not a problem.

We are also informed by rumor-mongers that it’ll be 10% cheaper than the present S6. That’s an aggressive pricing move from the android market leader.

Within the USA and China, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will get the brand new Qualcomm 820 SoC, which is instead of the more apparent chip choice, Samsung’s own Exynos line. And it will be clocked at some kind of ludicrous speed, we are informed, outfitted with a heat-pipe-based cooling system.

Let’s see the rumors regarding Samsung Galaxy S7 from around the globe

This rumor comes from China, through a blogger in Dubai. Mr. Zoheb Ansari, to be exact—Galaxy S7 scores over 2400 in Single-core:

A dependable Chinese leakster….reported that Samsung will use a high frequency version of the Snapdragon 820 Chip in its Galaxy S7, and that this model could also be exclusively for Samsung. He also reported that Snapdragon 820 with Galaxy S7 scored 2456 in single-core performance, and 5423 in multi-core performance. The single-core score is very close to Apple’s A9 benchmark, but the multi-core is significantly better. Qualcomm is anticipated to begin supplying its high-end chip from January 2016. Nevertheless, not all the Galaxy S7 customers will be able to taste it, because some regions will get the machine with an Exynos 8890.

Which actual benchmark is this? Indian blogger Ashish Yadav figures it out, in Snapdragon 820 Scores 5423 in Multi-Core Geekbench Test:

A new Weibo post from a Chinese leakster suggests that the Snapdragon 820 SoC will be optimized for lower power consumption and better heat management. It will probably be running at a higher frequency than the regular variant so Samsung will add a thermal pipe in the smart phone to maintain a check on the temperature. The leak also states that a new Geekbench test was carried out. We are not able to prove the authenticity of this leak and would recommend you take this information with a pinch of salt. The The launching date of Samsung Galaxy S7 is rumored to be on the 21st of February.

Why would Samsung nix its own Exynos SoC in favor of a Qualcomm? From the Philippines, Juan Carlos explains Snapdragon 820 clocked at max, will need cooling:

Though Samsung has a winner in Exynos 7420 which powers its latest flagships, there are rumors that the Galaxy S7 next year may really be back to utilizing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip for some models. Why would Samsung need to go back to a Snapdragon…after all the work on the most recent Exynos? It may be becauseApple’s A9 and A8X are at the top of the CPU performance charts. In single-core performance, the Snapdragon scores 2456, almost similar to the A9’s 2537. However in multi-core, it blows Apple out of the water with a 5423 grade, versus a 4454. Considering how Samsung has reportedly been helping Qualcomm with its 14nm FinFET process for the Snapdragon 820, it is understandable that it may need a few aces.
