According to the reports, Qualcomm is all set to launch its next powerful processor the Snapdragon 8150 (earlier called as Snapdragon 855) in its upcoming event on 4 December in Hawaii. The company had launched the Snapdragon 845, one of the most used processors in various flagship smartphones of 2018, at the same time last year. The company is again up to launch its latest processor with better performance.
As a result of a leaked video, the Chinese media has revealed the news of the launch. In the video, the Qualcomm’s senior manager from the marketing team is talking about an event that will take place on the 4th December this year and is hinting at the forthcoming launch of a ‘Snapdragon 8xx’ processor. The video is an official invite, embedded in Oculus Go headsets, that has been sent to the media by the company itself for the upcoming event.
The new processor is still an octa-core and holds the Oreo Go Edition, combining the power of AR, VR, and HDR. The processor is expected to be based on the 7nm FinFET fabrication technology, that may result in better performance of the processor at a minimal power consumption. There will be a better graphics support with the help of the Adreno 640 GPU, and the processor will also maintain better camera resolution. The processor will still be split between four power-efficient cores and four high-performance cores, among which two will be super large cores, two will be the large cores, and the other four will be the small cores.
According to a tweet from the Ice Universe, the chipset is expected to have a tri-cluster CPU design. There will be four low-power Kryo Silver cores, with 128 KB L2 cache each, running at a maximum frequency of 1.8 GHz in one cluster. The other trio of Kryo Gold will have 256KB L2 cache each, and a maximum frequency of 2.419 GHz in another cluster. And, the single Kryo Gold core is equipped with double the L2 cache, 512 KB, running at a maximum frequency of 2.842 GHz. We can see the 5G support coming with the Qualcomm 8150 processor, and one can also expect an Artificial Intelligence Processing Unit (APU) embedded with the processor.
The processor has already been featured in the Geekbench, ai-benchmark, and AnTuTu, with a single-core score of 3505 and multi-core score of 10608 in the Geekbench. The predictions, until now, have said all about its performance, and all the upcoming smartphones are inclined to adopt this new processor.
