#snapdragon wearables

Qualcomm has the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 and the W5 Gen 1, both built on a 4nm process that will serve a boost on performance for next generation Qualcomm-powered wearables.

As the first smartwatch powered by Snapdragon W5 wearable platform, it will delight our users with better performance," said Franco Li, OPPO Associate Vice President, President of IoT Business.

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.
