Qualcomm, with Snapdragon 820, he has to retrieve a bit the lost appeal lately: his biggest customer, Samsung, did not Snapdragon 810 preferring a home-made solution.
Reading the word Qualcomm, Most of the time, its processors come to mind Snapdragon which complement many product terminals, including many devices Xiaomi. But the company does not just deal with producing processors, but also of all those small parts that make the little ones even more efficient chip.
Among these little ones chip takes part what is called the Digital Signal Processor o DSP who deals with all those little ones processes which do not need the power to calculate Central CPU.
From what we read on the official portal of Qualcomm, the 24 Agosto, the new was presented Hexagon 680 DSP, which will be integrated into the new chips Qualcomm Snapdragon to provide the market with a new range of processors enhanced to allow a better approach to the multimedia compartment.
It should help lower the battery's energy requirements. But not just autonomy; the Hexagon 680 also adds its support when working in tandem with the new generation of ISP Qualcomm Spectra in which now, in low light conditions, it is Snapdragon 820 will be able to exploit the improvements of both (DSP and ISP) to produce even sharper and brighter images.
Not everything has been revealed about it and information is still lacking on parameters such as frequency and power. Now all that remains is to wait for the future terminals "powered" by the new SoC and its many improvements.
