All those who have been still battling battery woes are in for a treat in the coming year as Qualcomm prepares to unveil its next processor which aims to significantly take the battery efficiency notches up. The chipmaker has posted a tweet announcing the debut of its next advanced processor. At the upcoming Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2017, Qualcomm will be bringing its Snapdragon 835 processor ‘into focus’.
The Snapdragon 835 processor has been built in partnership with Samsung using the newest 10nm FinFET process. The fabrication process is said to make the chipset 30 percent more efficient and offer performance improvement of 27 percent. It also allows the chipset to consume lesser power and reduce footprint.
Highlight of the Snapdragon 835 is that it comes with support for Quick Charge 4.0. The current quick charging standard 3.0 is capable of powering the device up to 80 percent in about half an hour of charge. However, with Quick Charge 4.0, smartphones will be able to achieve five hours of power with just five minutes of charging. The chipset has been further designed to support the newer USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery standards, which essentially means that the Pixel smartphones, MacBooks, and Nexus smartphones with USB Type-C ports could be swiftly charged using the Quick Charge 4.0.
Although there has been no official word on the hardware specifics for the Snapdragon 835 chipset, benchmarks leaked from GFXBench site suggest that the processor has an octa-core structure with a clock speed of 2.2GHz paired with Adreno 540 GPU, which is said to be 30 percent faster than the Adreno 530 chip. The chipset is also said to come with support for 4K display and dual camera support.
