Although it was announced during the CES show in Las Vegas, the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 will arrive at the end of this year. Of course, there are already results from some benchmarks that confirm what was expected: this will be the most powerful SoC on the market. As it is.
Therefore, it is not surprising that major manufacturers such as HTC, Samsung and Sony already plan to include it in their high-end models. In this way, they would be able to offer terminals with a truly incredible capacity and, all this, without prejudice to the fact that their autonomy is affected. Sounds ideal, right?
The fact is that expectations indicated that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 would offer, for example, 50% more capacity with 3D graphics (games) compared to the Snapdragon 600. Therefore, everything you can expect from this new model is good. The most important specifications of this new SoC are the following: four Krait cores (at 2,3 GHz maximum); GPU Adreno 330; and Hexagon QDSP6 DSP for consumption adjustment.
The results in the benchmarks
Below we leave several images with results in the most common tests, which demonstrate the great capacity of this new model. It is striking that in the first two the Nvidia Tegra 4 It is shown as a rival to take into account and, therefore, if the rumors that this processor will be part of the device that HP will launch on the market, we will have to be attentive to its arrival.
Below are two results in benchmarks with the games, confirming the predictions that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 here is the best, at least with the benchmarks Basemark X and GLBench 2.5 so it seems:
In short, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 it will be together the best processor to use when it comes into play later this year. In this way, the terminals that are advertised with this SoC will be the most powerful on the market and, therefore, they must be valued in this way.
