Snapdragon 855 & 8cx SoC announced by Qualcomm

The president of Qualcomm Incorporated Cristiano Amon announced the Snapdragon 855 SoC for mobile platform and mentioned that they were few months away from launching 5G. It has One prime core with clock speed up to 2.84 GHz, Three performance cores with clock speed up to 2.42 GHz and four efficiency cores with clock speeds up to 1.80 GHZ. This is based on the first 7nm manufacturing process. This means less power consumption and less heat generation. It gets the Adreno 640 GPU which gets support for HDR gaming.

The 4th Gen AI engine allows 3X performance improvement and up to 2x versus the Kirin 980. There are a lot of improvements in the new ISP (image signal processor). The two most interesting improvements are 4k@60fps video recording with HDR and video recording with bokeh effect.

We had CEO of OnePlus who comfirmed that OnePlus device will be the first to feature the Snapdragon 855.

Qualcomm also announced the first 7nm Snapdragon 8cx for computer platform. They started with the Snapdragon 835 in 2017 for computer platform in few markets . The focus here are on three important aspects (extreme performance, extreme battery life and extreme connectivity). It comes with Adreno 680 GPU.
