Since it first declared the Snapdragon 820 at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, chipmaker Qualcomm has been parceling out the details in stages. It’s an effective strategy to stay in the news since the Snapdragon 810 has fallen short of expectations and the 820 isn’t predictable to arrive until early 2016. Over time it has also given us a good idea of what is shaping up to be a strong comeback. According to zdnet
Qualcomm boosts data rates with two technologies: 3x Carrier Aggregation-meaning it can merge three 20MHz connections into one faster pipe-and higher-order modulation. The catch is that to reach these speeds a smartphone needs an additional transceiver chip and it only works when you are close to a cellular base station that supports this advanced modulation scheme. In practice you are unlikely to see half a gigabit or more very often, but then again networking technologies always fall a bit short of their advertised speeds.
Qualcomm hasn’t said much about the Adreno 530 graphics, except that it will be 40 percent faster than the Snapdragon 810’s Adreno 430 GPU. We know more about the other big core inside the Snapdragon 820, the Hexagon DSP (Digital Signal Processor). Qualcomm originally designed DSPs to power its cellular modems, but over time these have taken on other specialized processing tasks that they can handle more efficiently than general-purpose CPUs. The Snapdragon 820 comprises three types of DSPs: a Modem DSP with a single-core (four threads) Hexagon 5xx, a Low Power DSP with a single-cluster (two threads) Hexagon 6xx that powers the system’s “always-on” sensors, and a Compute DSP based on the new Hexagon 680.
