While the Snapdragon 810 is currently equipping several major high-ends of 2015, new details have just surfaced regarding the Qualcomm Snapdragon 815 processor. And at the latest news, this one would consist of four ARM A72 cores and four A53 cores,all associated in big architecture. Little.
Qualcomm is already preparing the sequel with the Snapdragon 815.
While the A72 cores will handle heavy tasks, the A53s will handle lighter work. Recently formalized by ARM, The Cortex A72 cores are the most powerful on the market and thanks to their 16 nanometer engraving via the FinFET production process, they are significantly less energy-intensive than the A57s found alongside the A53s in the Snapdragon 810.
According to the latter report, Qualcomm could also “adjust” core performance. It would thus be able to offer an even more powerful Soc, while strengthening the energy efficiency of the chip, in order to offer a better autonomy. An association A72/A53 that is reminiscent of what is already found on board the Snapdragon 620 but with all the improvements that can be expected of a Soc series 800 that is intended only for flagships.
On the graphic side, we should find an Adreno 450 GPU. Finally, according to an old roadmap discovered some time ago, the Snapdragon 815 will, of course, be compatible with LPDDR4 RAM memory and should be equipped with a 4G LTE modem category 10 MDM9X55 or theoretical speeds of 450 Mbps in download and 100 Mbps in upload.
As the report states, for now, Qualcomm has decided to delay the arrival of this new Soc so as not to overshadow sales of smartphones equipped with the 810 such as the LG G Flex 2 or the HTC One M9. Note that if this new Soc still exploits the hearts of ARM, the Snapdragon 820 that will arrive a little later will offer homemade hearts.
