Surprising as it may seem, the new Snapdragon 820, scheduled to arrive in many terminals this year, including flagships will be produced by Samsung. We’re going to give you a detail on this case.
The Korean firm, has indeed announced that the S820 will be produced in 14nm, via the Low-Power Plus process or LPP, which corresponds to the second generation of FinFET manufacturing, of their processors in 14 nm.
Details of the transaction have not been disclosed, however the new LPP 14nm process is the same one that Samsung uses for its own Exynos 8, which can potentially be found in the Galaxy S7 in its international and non-European version, version of which here is a reminder of the features
Samsung also reports that this new process incorporates a three-dimensional FinFET structure on transistors, a somewhat technical term but which should allow a 15% improvementin performance, but also a 15% decrease in consumption compared to the previous generation.
This Snapdragon 820 therefore promises a lot, and the fact that Samsung produces it proves that the firm has forgotten the distrust regarding its predecessor, namely the Snapdragon 810, with which the problems of overheating were legion and the manufacturer had preferred its Exynos for its various Galaxy S6, but also the Galaxy Note 5, not released in our land, since we had to settle for the Simple Galaxy S6 Edge Plus , which we tested, which remains one of the best flagships of the past year.
Also remember that the first terminal, presented at the last CES to be equipped with the Snapdragon 820 is the LeTV Max Pro, a giant smartphone of 6.3 inches, was a real sensation at this show but has little chance of reaching our green lands unfortunately. Nevertheless, it will be remembered that it was the world’s first standard-bearer for the processor.
