Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 & 600: 75 percent faster than the processor in the Nexus 4

Having been the new NVIDIA Tegra 4 chipset has presented to the public, moved to Qualcomm and has the new processor series on the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas introduced. The new ARM processor called Snapdragon 800 should turn out about 75 percent faster than the Snapdragon S4 Pro, which is used for example for the Google Nexus 4 is used.

The new SoC (System-on-a-chip) is this year certainly the one or other high-end smartphones provide power and equips the device with a quad-core processor 400 and the Krait Adreno graphics unit, the 330th Otherwise, even a digital signal processor (DSP)-type Hexagon v5 and an LTE modem found in the chipset. The Snapdragon 800 is made with 28-nanometer-viedo and get through the powerful combination of a performance improvement of up to 75 percent. The integrated processor Krait 400 has not only has four cores, which provide up to 2.3 GHz for a lot of power, but also enables a higher battery life. The improvement in the manufacturing process and the asynchronous SMP architecture will have optimized energy efficiency.

The Adreno 330 GPU has also performs a jump and will offer up to twice the performance compared to its predecessor. This can even be content in 4K resolution (4,096 x 2,304 pixels) recorded and played, but DTS-HD and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 is supported by the new graphics unit. Otherwise, the DSP enables Hexagon v5 support for four cameras, 3D images and the images are composed of up to 55 megapixels. Moreover, in the future, the new WLAN standard 802.11ac support and also the LTE modem Category 4 allows a data rate of up to 150 Mbit / s Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0 and FM radio are also still on board.

A smaller version of the high-end there will be the Snapdragon processor 600, which is to fail but also about 40 percent faster than the Snapdragon S4 Pro. With this chipset, the Krait CPU 300 is installed, which can operate up to 1.9 GHz. As a graphics unit uses Qualcomm Adreno the 320th The two SoCs should appear first in the middle of the first devices.
