UNISOC, the Chinese semiconductor company, has revamped its line of 5G chipsets. Going forward, its 5G chipsets will be announced under a new line called Tanggula. The manufacturer revealed the name was adopted from the name of the source of the Yangtze River.
The new line is classified into four series – the Tanggula 6, Tanggula 7, Tanggula 8, and the Tanggula 9 series which will take on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 series.
According to UNISOC, the Tanggula 6 series are entry-level chipsets, the Tanggula 7 series brings a user upgrading experience, the Tanggula 8 series brings leading performance, and the Tanggula 9 series brings cutting-edge technology.
At the moment, UNISOC has only unveiled chipsets under the Tanggula 7 series. We expect new chipsets under the other series will be unveiled later.
Tanggula 7 series
The Tanggula 7 series includes three chipsets – the UNISOC T770 (formerly known as UNISOC T7520), UNISOC T740 (formerly known as UNISOC T7510), and the UNISOC T760. Below are their specifications:
