(Telecompaper) Qualcomm is expanding its Snapdragon line of mobile phone processors with the new top-of-the-range Snapdragon 810 and 808. These support LTE Cat 6 with speeds of up to 300 Mbps using carrier aggregation. Both processors are designed in 20nm manufacturing, come with 64-bit capability and are optimised for very low power consumption. The 810, Qualcomm's highest performing chip to date, also comes with support for native 4K video, with an upgraded camera suite using gyro-stabilization and 3D noise reduction for producing 4K video at 30 frames per second and 1080p video at 120 frames per second. Graphics are supported by the new Qualcomm Adreno 430 processing unit (GPU), which the company said delivers up to 30 percent faster graphics performance and double the GPGPU compute performance, while reducing power consumption by up to 20 percent compared to its predecessor, the Adreno 420 GPU. Based on quad-core ARM Cortex A57 and A53 CPUs, the 810 also is the first to come with high-speed LPDDR4 memory and Qualcomm's VIVE 2-stream 802.11ac with multi-user MIMO to optmise Wi-Fi access. The Snapdragon 808 comes with many of the same features, expect for only 2K display support. The primary other differences are the 808 processor includes the Adreno 418 GPU, two ARM Cortex-A57 cores paired with a quad Cortex-A53 CPU and LPDDR3 memory. The Snapdragon 810 and 808 processors are expected to begin sampling in the second half of 2014 and be available in commercial devices by the first half of 2015.
