Qualcomm has introduced 4 new chipsets for the middle class

Qualcomm has chipsets for each class of smartphones and every year it enriches its offer with newer and better pieces. This time, according to information published on the website gsmarena.com, it introduced up to four new chipsets for lower and middle class smartphones.

Qualcomm focuses primarily on 5G connectivity

Snapdragon 788G+

The first processor in the quad is Snapdragon 788G+. He builds on his predecessor Snapdragon 788Gwhich we saw especially in the middle class smartphones. The processor is made by 6 nm process and core Kryo 670 is clocked at 2.5 GHz.

In addition, the graphics core has been improved Adreno 642Lwhich promises up to 20 percent higher graphics performance. He ‘s not missing either X53 5G modem, but in other ways everything is the same.

Snapdragon 695

This processor also builds on its predecessor (Snadragon 690), but offers a number of improvements over it. The first is the support of the mmWave 5G model 690 a mistake. Snapdragon 695 it also improves the performance of the processor itself by up to 15% and the performance of the GPU by up to 30%. The reason is the transition to newer cores Kryo 660 a Adreno 619.

Another major change is the 6 nm manufacturing process used (model 690 was produced by the 8 nm process), which results in lower energy consumption.

Snapdragon 680

The most debatable chipset is Snapdragon 680. It is the only one that does not offer 5G support and is a kind of mix of new and already used functions. Like the two processors mentioned above, this one is made with 6 nm technology. Cores are used Kryo 265, for which these are probably improved versions of kernels Kryo 260, used in the 11 nm model Snapdragon 662. The GPU is also the same – Adreno 610.

The cameras will be in charge of a triple ISP Spectra 346. This allows the chipset to process image data from three cameras simultaneously.

Snapdragon 480+

Snapdragon 480 was the first 5G processor in the series 400, which brought 5G connectivity to even the most affordable smartphones. This is the same in most ways, but slightly faster than its predecessor.

It is an 8 nm chip with relatively old cores Kryo 460 a GPU Adreno 619. The processor is clocked at 2.2 GHz (from 2.0 GHz). Acceleration also occurred with the GPU. Snapdragon 480+ can drive FullHD displays up to 120 Hz. For comparison, Snapdragon 680 it can only do this at 90 Hz. In the case of 5G connectivity, a modem is present X51 with support for both sub-6 and mmWave 5G networks.

It is still not clear when we can expect the arrival of devices with the mentioned processors. The “+” models are essentially the same hardware, so we could see them soon.
