Half an hour left. The 855 will be a bit better than Kirin 980, with a triple core cluster, 4 low power cores based on A55, 3 performance cores based on A76 at 2.4 Ghz and one high performance core based on A76 at 2.84Ghz. GPU will be called Adreno 640, ~10-20% better performance. What is unknown is the efficiency.
So it seems that I was right. I think that 5g will be nice, but in 5 years, not now. For now, my Exynos 8890 powered Galaxy S7 can do everything that this new chip can do. I have 600 Mbps, it can do 8k easily. It has enough could horsepower to run anything at fast speeds and feels snappy. It gets 170k in AnTuTu which is half of what the sd855 gets which in my book is more than good enough. My previous phone until this year was a z3 compact. It had a sd801, a 32 bit chip with a third of the score of the Exynos 8890 in AnTuTu, about 60k. Not surprising at all is the fact that it was good enough for basically anything you could throw at it. Games, check. Web browsing, YouTube, Facebook, you name it, everything ran great on it given it has only 2 GB of RAM and only 4 cores. It also had amazing battery life, better than most sd845 phones get. So yeah, progress is good but it is not like you can't do something on an older device.
In a few spots (AI and sustained gaming) they've mentioned how they beat the competition. Does that mean the Android competition, like Kirin and Exynos, or the A12? Only one of those would be impressive.

How do the CPU and GPU compare to the A12 (assuming Qualcomm’s claims are accurate)? Obviously QC is pushing 5G and AI.cfenton - Wednesday, December 5, 2018 - link

In the GPU graph the throttling one is the A12 and the constant one (but lower perf than the SD855) is Kirin 980.
