As expected, in the framework of CES 2017 in Las Vegas, Qualcomm announced its new processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 for mobile devices.
As GSMArena reports, Snapdragon 835 Qualcomm has become the first commercial product that is manufactured using the new 10-nanometer manufacturing process FinFET Samsung. It also became the first mobile processor with support for Bluetooth 5.0. The chip supports VR, and Windows 10.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 uses the same computing core based on Kryo ARMv8 architecture that Snapdragon 820/821, but their number has doubled. Kryo Eight cores are divided into two clusters. One cluster of four energy-efficient cores Kryo operates at speeds up to 1.9 GHz, while the other consists of four Kryo cores clocked at up to 2.45 GHz and is designed to perform complex tasks. Snapdragon 835 chip has become approximately 35% smaller and consumes 25% less power compared to its predecessor,
which should positively affect the battery life time.
In place of the graphics accelerator Adreno 530, applicable to the Snapdragon 820/821, the new single-chip platform controller came Adreno 540. It has support for OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, Vulkan's API and DirectX 12. The graphics performance increased by 25%. Thanks to the new Adreno 540 chip supports video recording in the resolution of 4K (Ultra HD), as well as playback of 4K-content. There is also a built-in modem LTE-X16 with support for LTE Cat.16 (download speed of up to 1 Gbit / s) and
Cat.13 (download speed of 150 Mbit / s).
Also in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 debuted a new version of rapid charging Quick Charge. Quick Charge 4.0 up to 20% faster and 30% more efficient than Quick Charge 3.0. New technology supports USB-C Power Delivery specification.
Samsung has already started mass production of Snapdragon 835 on 10-nanometer rules. The first devices based on the Snapdragon 835 will appear in the first half of 2017. Related Products :
