#snapdragon 810

Though it’s currently undergoing testing with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, incorporating a 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor might still be the way to go since devices running on a Snapdragon 810 won’t be expected in the market until 2015. 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. Of the two, the Snapdragon 810 sports the better feature set consisting of four Cortex-A53 processors which handles the mundane tasks and another set of Cortex-A57 chips which takes care of the resource-heavy apps. Speaking of performance, the Snapdragon 810 will also benefit from the new Adreno 430 GPU which, according to Qualcomm, is 30% faster than Adreno 420 or around 80% faster than Adreno 330, the GPU we often see on flagship devices. Despite of being the modest between the two new chipsets, the Snapdragon 808 is by no means a push-over. The Snapdragon 808 inherits some of the qualities of its more powerful counterpart such as LTE Category 6/7 modem and support for MIMO which brings improved wireless transfer rate over Wi-Fi. According to Qualcomm, consumers can expect these new Snapdragon SoCs to start making their way in to various flagship devices starting the first half of 2015.
