Qualcomm has announced at MWC Shanghai 2017 its latest mobile platform aimed at mid-range smartphones and tablets - the Snapdragon 450. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 mobile platform is the first in its tier to use 14nm FinFET process. Snapdragon 450 features: • Improved CPU and GPU performance thanks to the octa-core ARM Cortex A53 CPU and Adreno 506 GPU which claim 25% increase in performance compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 435. • Better battery life with up to 30% reduction in power when gaming and up to 4 additional hours of usage time compared to the Snapdragon 435. • Improved connectivity with Snapdragon X9 LTE modem which utilizes 2x20MHz carrier aggregation in both downlink and uplink for peak speeds of 300 Mbps and 150 Mbps respectively. In addition, it supports Snapdragon All Mode, 802.11ac with MU-MIMO, and USB 3.0. The Snapdragon 450 is expected to begin commercial sampling to customers in Q3 2017 and is expected to be available in consumer devices by the end of 2017. Qualcomm is going in for the kill as the company announced two new powerful additions to their 64-bit mobile chip lineup, namely the octa-core Snapdragon 810 and hexa-core Snapdragon 808.
