Although we are still waiting for the first devices with Snapdragon 805, Qualcomm He has given us and even a preview of what his next generation of processors, Snapdragon 808 and 801, and that include new features such as support for 64 bits y big.LITTLE architectures.
Maybe because comparing with the evolution that they supposed the Snapdragon 600 and 800, it seems that the actual Snapdragon 801 and the future Snapdragon 805 They have not attracted so much attention, or simply to arouse expectation, at Qualcomm they have decided to let us take a look, long in advance, at their next generation of processors: Snadpragon 808 y Snapdragon 810. We tell you their main features.
64-bit, big.LITTLE architecture, and of course more power
Interestingly, after the initial criticism that since Qualcomm they did so much to 64-bit Apple processors as to those of big.LITTTLE architecture by Exynos, the new ones Snapdragon 808 and 810 will incorporate these two features (2 cores A57 and 4 A53 for the Snapdragon 808 and 4 A57 and 4 A53 cores for the Snapdragon 810). The superior model, in addition to more having 8 cores in CPU, would arrive with Adreno 430 (80% more powerful than the current Adreno 330) and capable of recording and playing back H.256. The "lower" model would have 6-core CPU y Adreno 418, but it could only play H.256. We do not yet have exact data on the jump that they will suppose in terms of power, but surely they will exceed the 2,5 GHz of the Snapdragon 805.
They would arrive in 2015
The bad news is that, as you can imagine, with the launch of the first devices with Snadpragon 805, we will have to wait a long time until the new generation of processors see the light. In principle, they are expected to be presented in 2015 and it seems quite reasonable that their debut will take place again at one of the two major events at the beginning of the year, the CES in Las Vegas and the MWC in Barcelona.
