It's getting time for the rumour mill to start churning.

I wonder if that's the fixed revision or not.http://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfx30&os=Android&api=gl&D=Qualcomm MSM8994 for arm64 (Adreno 430, development board)&testgroup=overall
First Adreno430 results. Quite frankly *yawn* even if those are preliminary. Now let's also see battery life tests.
The significantly higher Overhead (offscreen) score is a VERY pleasant surprise though
The roadmap is bogus an outdated, just opened a new thread to separate the discussion.Can anyone give even one reason why this should be taken credibly?

One interesting bit - 815 is supposed to be an octa core with big.LITTLE but 820 is only listed as octa core.
Besides, it looks like Taipan S2 is going to be 64bit but before that there will be Taipan S1 which isn't listed as 64bit. Something like that would be strange so I think that both Taipan S1 and S2 will be 64bit.

Why do you say *yawn*? The Adreno 430 scores seem to be at QHD resolution compared to the 1080p of the A6 and as you say if we look at the offscreen 1080p results, it is quite competitive.
Manhattan 1080p offscreen:
Adreno430 = 21.9 fps
Adreno420 = 19.4 fps
Apple A8 = 19.3 fps
If the 430 scores don't increase then it's a 13% difference to the current 420 GPU, which deserves every "yawn" there is and I wouldn't suggest that Apple's next smartphone SoC will be in the same test by another lukewarm 13% faster than in the A8.
I see a value of 18.3 fps for Adreno 420. That puts The 430 about 20% ahead. And comparing T-Rex Offscreen results, it is 48.5 fps vs 40.7 fps, so again 20% ahead.
Given that Qualcomm themselves claimed that the 430 would be only 30% faster than the 420, the fact that we're seeing 20% in real world benchmarks seem to about right (there may be some throttling in play as well so the gap could increase).
This is nothing to sneeze at IMHO, especially considering that the 420 is itself about 40% faster than the 330. So that makes the 430 about 70-80% faster than the 330..which is a better comparison.
Aside from the fact that it is competitive with the A8..why does it matter anyway..Android and iOS are two completely different markets so its like comparing Oranges to err Apples
Trex is more power hungry than Manhattan in my testing.
Not sure on Adreno but on Midgard the load/store unit is stressed about twice as much while having only 70% of the ALU load compared to Manhattan. I dwell more on this in the Duke Exynos Forever article.Probably, because it uses more geometry?
Outside of arithmetic, Manhattan is a lot more memory intensive. A few consecutive runs crashes the app on iPhone 6+ whereas the countlessly looped T-Rex endurance test has no issue. 1 GB nonsense...
Still interesting how, among the 1080p display devices, the iPhone seems to be the only one to perform even higher with the lesser overhead of the onscreen Manhattan test than the off.
Right should have used Duke Note Forver.LOL@DEF albeit it's actually reserved for DNF
Samsung SLSI must be popping the champaign by now.Qualcomm reported today and guided lower earnings for the year because a major customer isn't going to use the 810.
