If the latest rumors from China are anything to go by, Qualcomm has delivered Samsung with a new revision of its Snapdragon 820 chipset with better thermal management and performance improvement of up to 5-10% compared to the previous revision.
Due to the overheating issues with the Snapdragon 810, Samsung went with its in-house Exynos chipset on the Galaxy S6. However, the company is reportedly testing the Snapdragon 820 chipset for the Galaxy S7, which is expected to deliver better performance minus any of the overheating issues that plague the Snapdragon 810.
Qualcomm had already provided Samsung with samples of Snapdragon 820 chipset, but the newest revision of the chip offers better performance across the board without any changes to its core characteristics.
After the disappointing Snapdragon 810, it is likely that Qualcomm will go all out in making sure that the Snapdragon 820 is one of its most impressive chips ever.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is the company’s upcoming high-end chipset that will be making its way inside devices released next year. It will come with four custom 64-bit Kryo cores and will be based on the 14/16nm FinFET process. Qualcomm had provided details about the Adreno 530 GPU and the Spectra ISP of the chipset last month.
