Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ mobile platform appears on Geekbench, launch expected later this year

The listing on Geekbench follows Qualcomm's annual timeline of introducing its plus moniker chipsets. The Snapdragon 888+ will be the successor of the Snapdragon 888 chip.

Qualcomm might soon be following its usual practice of introducing a plus moniker chipset for its most powerful offering. The speculations arise from a recent spotting of what can only be assumed to be the Snapdragon 888+ online. The step-up variant of Snapdragon 888 has reportedly been spotted on Geekbench recently. The listing indicates that just like the regular Snapdragon 888, the Snapdragon 888+ comes with an overclocked X1 performance core. This one, however, is clocked at 3.0GHz, unlike the 2.84GHz recorded on the original Snapdragon 888. Other than the primary performance core, the Snapdragon 888+ will make use of four low-power A55 cores running at 1.8GHz as well as three additional Cortex-A78 clusters running at 2.42Ghz.
