How Snapdragon 845 snaps 25 to 30 percent faster
 

From the horse's mouth

We know that Qualcomm has officially released the Snapdragon 845 but our key question is how the company managed to get a 30 percent performance increase using the same manufacturing process.

OK, we do know that this is the second generation 10nm process from Samsung that definitely had some smaller impact on the SoC performance. Samsung calls this manufacturing process 10LPP (Low Power Plus) and Qualcomm executives confirmed that this created a minor improvement on general SoC performance.
