Snapdragon 835 Processor Gets Mass Produced In Time For Samsung Galaxy S8’s April Release
Athena DeeSamsung is reportedly already hard at work at its next generation smartphone, the Galaxy S8. Earlier reports about the flagship device beginning mass production in March were fuelled by the news regarding its new chipset.
According to Business Korea, Qualcomm will mass produce the Snapdragon 835 processor and will officially debut it in the upcoming Galaxy S8. In order to further suit the device's specs, the company decided to reduce the chip's weight and lowered its heat generation rates. This way, Galaxy S8 users can enjoy both augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) more efficiently.
This new chip might be 35 percent smaller than its predecessor, but it reportedly uses up 25 percent less power. That said, tech companies are expected to want to cash in on this processor. With its size, future smartphones can have thinner designs and larger battery packs.
Fudzilla has reported that the Snapdragon 820 will be replaced by the Snapdragon 835, primarily because of its lesser power consumption, a new GPU that is reportedly 25 percent better, and a new eight-core CPU that is divided into two clusters.
Qualcomm confirmed to the media on January 4 that the Snapdragon 835 chip will be launched at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Furthermore, the processor will also eventually be carried by other premium consumer devices that can run various operating systems. Examples of such contraptions are Windows 10, Android, AR and VR head-mounted displays, mobile PCs and tablets, and IP cameras.
It would seem that Qualcomm beat Intel with regard to who got to 10nm first. This only indicates that there is a clear shift of power in the industry. However, Intel is reportedly busying itself at making a processor for very high TDPs. Qualcomm, on the other hand, was clearly aimed at small TDPs and focused more on battery life.
