Qualcomm has given the first data on the new SoC, Snapdragon 845, a processor based on the 10nm LLP manufacturing process and that will arrive for high-end smartphones.

We recently echoed early rumors of the Snapdragon 845, a smartphone SoC that promised to be a new generation of mobile processors offering performance improvements, although the jump is not expected to be very large over the Snapdragon 835. Qualcomm has developed this processor to replace the Snapdragon 835, offering a slight improvement in performance and a slight improvement also in consumption that will extend the life of the batteries. According to rumors, this Snapdragon 845 processor is the logical candidate to be installed in the Samsung Galaxy S9 and LG G7, it is also speculated that it can be integrated into an unknown Xiaomi.

This new Qualcomm SoC has been developed in the 10nm LLP manufacturing process in collaboration with Samsung. Internally it is composed of four Cortex-A75 cores and four high-efficiency Cortex-A53 cores, in addition to Adreno 630 graphics, which should reduce consumption with respect to the SoCs it replaces. There is no performance data, but it is not a complete generational leap just an update, so great improvements in computing performance are not expected and in terms of graphics, the difference is not expected very strong either.

Connectivity is another strong point usually in the Snapdragon and this has an X20 LTE modem that is capable of offering a download speed of 1.2Gbps and a chip that is capable of offering compatibility with the 802.11ad WiFi standard could also be integrated. new generation. The details are logically incomplete, but the company has said that they are only a forward and that they will offer all the data as well as performance data shortly.
