The next year's high-end Android smartphone will use the Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 855 chipset (you've guessed it). Qualcomm SVP Alex Katouzian  did not stay on chipsets for long after the announcement at the company's Tech Summit in Hawaii - big details would fall tomorrow - but now we have a better understanding of which company to focus on Wants to barrel in 2019

It has been clear for some time that 2019 will be the year of 5G, and at this point it is not surprising that Snapdragon 855 "multi-gigabit" data speed on the 5G network as light throughout the country Will support. Fast growth and hard work in the next year of 5G network deployment was a big theme at Tech Summit Day 1, and it is not difficult to see how fast it is to change what we expect from our smartphones. From the data speed is up.

In addition, Katouzian  also stated that 855 was designed to trounce the last generation chipset when it came to AI show - when we talk about these complex calculations, we can expect 3x performance benefits. . This is a relatively early day for software and services inspired by machine learning, but at this point the change in the industry is almost clear. With these AI-centric updates, Qualcomm is clearly ready to compete with rivals such as Apple because the fundamental nature of our software is changing.

And honestly, those AI-fuel charges are probably more integral for your life that you may know. For example, consider your phone's camera: Progression in computational photography means that your photos look better without any extra work at your end. After that, it is not surprising that Qualcomm has embedded a new computer vision ISP in 855, so the future phones will be able to recognize who else you are capturing.

In your heart, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 is a 7 nm Octo-Core Processor. Arm DynamIQ CPU cluster design is slightly different at this time, with four small Cortex-A 55 cores attached to three large cores on the basis of Arm's Cortex-A76 design, and even a large "prime" cortex The A-76 core is also targeted high peak performance.

Compared to its predecessor, Snapdragon 845, Snapdragon 855 does not show the speed of a heavy CPU clock or anything. However, on the semi-optimized design of the latest Cortex-A76 CPU portion of Kryo 485 CPU Cluster Infection Arm. 

Qualcomm has promoted 45 percent CPU performance on the previous genes, which is a surprisingly large lift for more demanding applications.

Additional features include a new image signal processor, which supports  HDR 10 video content recording with 30 percent savings for power consumption. In the part of this package, Cinema Core, H.265 and VP9 Video decoder claim 7x gain for energy efficiency. It includes HDR 10+ playback on 120fps and playback of 8K (definitely overkill for mobile), and support for 360 degree video. Other familiar features, such as APTX support, are also on the board with hardware support for APTX adaptive and quick charge support.

Arm Dynamics Cluster technology is enabling some more interesting CPU configuration than 4 + 4 larger. Previous Little Design The introduction of shared cluster design and shared L3 cache allows more flexibility with the individual L2 cache of each core. This means that different CPU cores can be made in accordance with specific display points and sizes, while the benefits of tight unity in the same cluster are maintained. As a result, this "small, middle, and high" level approach is increasingly becoming increasingly popular.

Qualcomm has come to snapdragon 855 design with these benefits, choosing the 1 + 3 + 4 design instead of the traditional 4 + 4 setup. The largest shared L2 cache of the largest core, combined with a different high peak clock speed, will provide high performance for its requirement. If you are interested, then 512 KB L2 cache on the big core, 256 KB on each of the three middle corners, and 128 KB for each small core.

1 + 3 + 4 core CPU design is consistent with high single thread performance, which can be maintained for a long time.
