  Qualcomm says its new Snapdragon 865 mobile platform scales 5G and 5th gen AI to power next-generation, premium devices with breakthrough features—from Gigapixel speed photography to desktop-level gaming features to staggering multi-gigabit 5G connectivity. The company claims the new Adreno 650 GPU in the Snapdragon 865 has 25% faster graphics rendering over the previous-gen GPU and is 35% more power-efficient. The company made the point that the new Snapdragon 865 and Adreno 650-powered GPU offer sustained performance, versus turning up and killing benchmarks but losing power over time as speeds drop to keep heat and power consumption down.
