It is still based on 8nm processor technology, has integrated Snapdragon X15 4G modem and the company said that it will offer 10% higher system performance than competitive platforms.

Node Size
The Snapdragon 870 5G is a 7nm chipset just like its siblings – the Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 865 Plus. MediaTek, on the other hand, has switched to the smaller 6nm process.
A smaller node is known to bring an increase in performance and power efficiency, and as you can see the Dimensity 1200 is the chipset with the smaller node size, so it wins this round.
CPU
The two chipsets have eight cores each and they use the same 1+3+4 arrangement but where they differ is in the cores themselves.
The Snapdragon 870 is practically an overclocked Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, so you get the same cores but at a higher clock speed. It has a prime Cortex-A77 core that has the highest clock speed of a mobile CPU core at 3.2GHz. Its performance cores are also the same Cortex-A77 clocked at 2.42GHz while the efficiency cores are Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz.
