The chipmaker says the 810 and 808 are its most powerful chips yet, with vast improvements for video, imaging, graphics and connectivity. Both 64-bit chips implement Cat 6 LTE Advanced on-chip, designed with 20nm fabrication technology which delivers more performance at comparatively low power consumption.
The Snapdragon 810 is definitely the one to covet of the two. Here is a run down of what it boasts.
Snapdragon 810
- 20nm technology
- Four Cortex A57 cores for intensive, power hungry tasks
- Four Cortex A53 cores for non-intensive tasks
- Supports 4K Displays (external via HDMI 1.4)
- 14-bit dual Image Signal Processors, 1.2GP/s throughput, image sensors up to 55MP
- High-speed LPDDR4 memory
- New Adreno 430 Graphics Processing Unit
- Adreno 430 is 30 percent faster than Adreno 420, 100 percent faster for GPGPU operations.
- Adreno 430 reduces power consumption by up to 20 percent
- Integrated CAT-6 LTE Advanced on-chip
- Supports VIVE 2-stream 802.11ac with MU-MIMO
- Bluetooth 4.1, USB 3.0, NFC and Qualcomm IZat location core
- 20nm technology
- Two Cortext A57 cores for intensive, power hungry tasks
- Four Cortex A53 cores for non-intensive tasks
- Supports 2K Displays, WQXGA (2560x1600), (External 4k via HDMI1.4)
- LPDDR3 memory
- Adreno 418 GPU
- Adreno 418 GPU provides 20 percent faster graphics performance than predecessor Adreno 330
- Integrated CAT-6 LTE Advanced on-chip
Qualcomm's decision to reveal the details of these next-gen chips so early is likely driven by increasing competition in the space for mobile chips.
