The Snapdragon 660 SoC is an oct-core processor, which used 14nm LPP tech, sports Kyro kernel to get you performance of 4 cores at 2.2GHz frequency, while other 4 cores at 1.9GHz. It’s a MSM8976 Plus processor chip, that will also support in full UFS2.1, a storage type we currently find on Huawei Mate 9 (powered by Kirin 960 processor), which indeed results in visibly better performance.
