In recent months, Qualcomm has been the protagonist of many news on portals around the world not only due to the arrival of new components with which it intends to lead the race to achieve processors with breakneck speeds, but also because of their legal struggles against firms like Apple and that could acquire more prominence in the short term.
A few hours ago, the firm announced the expansion of the family Snapdragon with three new processors. Below we will tell you what is already known about them and we will try to see if with these components we can put aside, at least for the moment, all the controversies generated within the American technology.
the news
Portals like GSMArena they have echoed the news mentioned in social networks and some websites about the imminent presentation of the Snapdragon 660. This processor would not come alone, since on May 8 or 9, another two would be announced: The 630 and the 635. However, no more details have been given about this last pair although some of the characteristics of the 660 have been confirmed, which could be one of the most powerful of the firm.
The Snapdragon 660
The most striking thing about this chip, at least for the moment, would be its great resemblance to another of the firm's flagships, the 835. Both would share 8 nuclei, although the architecture would vary, going from the 10 nanometers of the previous model to the 14 with which it would be equipped. It is believed that with these conditions, it could compete against other similar ones such as some of the Kirin family. However, one of its weak points could be its GPU, which instead of being an Adreno 540, which has also been seen in the latest Qualcomm components, would be somewhat more modest, specifically, a Adreno 512. I would be focused on the mid-range.
Where could we see them?
The imminent presentation of all the processors has already led to a multitude of speculation about where we could see them. Once again, portals like GSMArena They believe that the next models of firms like Nokia could have some of these components. If we take into account that the last members of the family are already capable of supporting, among other features, dual cameras or 4K resolutions, do you think the new ones will be up to par or will they be focused on other types of more affordable and modest terminals? ?
