SNAPDRAGON 835 POWERFUL 2017 PROCESSOR DETAILS ITS FEATURES
In 2017, one thing is certain: the high-end will again be equipped mostly by the latest generation of Qualcomm processors, the Snapdragon 835. Although presented succinctly at the end of 2016, slides probably destined for CES 2017 appeared on the run On the net and allow us to see its features in more detail.
The year 2017 obviously promises many innovations in many areas of computing, beginning of course by our smartphones which should experience a new revolution thanks to the arrival of virtual reality and flexible screens.
But it is something that we already have: the high-end smartphones of the year will be mainly powered by the Snapdragon 835, Qualcomm formalized by the end of 2016 which has most of the sector for a long time.
However, this first announcement made in partnership with Samsung did not really clarify what this processor would be. New slides, which could be aimed at CES 2017, recovered by VideoCardz allow us to have a better view of it.
We can see a 20% performance boost will be available from the previous generation in task management, web browsing and virtual reality, one of the big issues in 2017.
The architecture big.LITTLE is preserved, making 4 hearts devoted to the most demanding tasks (games for example) when 4 other hearts are meant to accommodate common tasks. 80% of the time you will be on the last four, promising lower power battery.
The second slide reminds that the new processor is now engraved in 10nm FinFET , a gain size leaving them free manufacturers to create thinner phones or integrate larger batteries and other modules.
And of course, a smaller processor promises less power consumption, making the 2017 smartphones consume much less naturally than their predecessors. But this year, Qualcomm will face an increasingly fierce competition in the sector, especially as the Kirin 970 is preparing too .
