Both the Snapdragon 810 and Snapdragon 808 processors integrate Qualcomm Technologies’ 4th Generation Cat 6 LTE Advanced multimode modem together with support for the Qualcomm RF360 Front End Solution, and support 3x20MHz Carrier Aggregation, enabling speeds of up to 300 Mbps in the broadest set of spectrum deployment configurations to date. Both processors are designed in 20nm technology node with Cat 6 LTE, advanced multimedia features and 64-bit capability, all tightly integrated and optimized for exceptionally low power consumption that does not sacrifice performance, making them the first premium-tier 64-bit processors to enable LTE Advanced globally with a single design. These products underscore Qualcomm Technologies focus on 64-bit leadership, accelerating its availability across all product tiers while maintaining a long-term commitment to the continued development of its own next-generation custom 64-bit CPU microarchitecture, with more details expected to be shared later this year.

The Snapdragon 810 processor, as Qualcomm Technologies’ highest performing Snapdragon platform to date, also supports:

Rich native 4K Ultra HD interface and video, along with an upgraded camera suite using gyro-stabilization and 3D noise reduction for producing high quality 4K video at 30 frames per second and 1080p video at 120 frames per second. The combined 14-bit dual Image Signal Processors (ISPs) are capable of supporting 1.2GP/s throughput and image sensors up to 55MP. Advanced imaging software helps enable advanced mobile camera features, including enhanced exposure, white balance and fast low light focus.

The combined 64-bit quad core ARM Cortex-A57 CPUs and Cortex-A53 CPUs are designed to enable an improved user experience based on the advanced technology feature set, while implementation of the new ARMv8-A ISA enables improved instruction set efficiency. Designed for 4K displays, the new Qualcomm® Adreno 430 graphics processing unit (GPU) provides support for OpenGL ES 3.1 plus hardware tessellation, geometry shaders and programmable blending. The Adreno 430 is designed to deliver up to 30% faster graphics performance and 100% faster GPGPU compute performance, while reducing power consumption by up to 20%, as compared to its predecessor, the Adreno 420 GPU. The Adreno 430 GPU also enables a new level of GPU security for secure composition and management of premium video and other multimedia.

The Snapdragon 810 processor introduces high speed LPDDR4 memory.

Frame buffer compression and external 4K display support via HDMI1.4.

First mobile platform to implement Qualcomm® VIVE 2-stream 802.11ac with multi-user MIMO, which makes Wi-Fi® networks more efficient than ever in order to maximize the performance of local connectivity for mobile devices.

Support for Bluetooth® 4.1, USB 3.0, NFC and the latest Qualcomm® IZat location core for ubiquitous and highly accurate location services.

The Snapdragon 808 processor is designed for premium performance and integrates the same LTE-Advanced, RF360 and Wi-Fi connectivity as the Snapdragon 810 processor and includes 2K display support. Both chipsets are fully software compatible with the 64-bit ARMv8-A instruction set. The primary differences of the Snapdragon 808 processor include:

Designed for WQXGA (2560×1600) displays, the new Adreno 418 GPU provides support for OpenGL ES 3.1 plus hardware tessellation, geometry shaders, programmable blending. It is designed to support up to 20% faster graphics performance than its predecessor, the Adreno 330 GPU. The Adreno 418 GPU also enables a new level of GPU security for secure composition and management of premium video and other multimedia.

Configured with two ARM Cortex-A57 cores paired with a quad Cortex-A53 CPU.

12-bit dual Image Signal Processors.

LPDDR3 memory.

Frame buffer compression and external 4K display support via HDMI1.4.

“The announcement of the Snapdragon 810 and 808 processors underscore Qualcomm Technologies’ continued commitment to technology leadership and a time-to-market advantage for our customers for premium tier 64-bit LTE-enabled smartphones and tablets,” said Murthy Renduchintala, executive vice president, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and co-president, QCT. “These product announcements, in combination with the continued development of our next-generation custom 64-bit CPU, will ensure we have a tremendous foundation on which to innovate as we continue to push the boundaries of mobile computing performance in the years to come.”

The Snapdragon 810 and 808 processors are anticipated to begin sampling in the second half of 2014 and expected to be available in commercial devices by the first half of 2015.

While for now, the smartphone market has been rose dramaticaly, since nowaday smartphone is packs with more powerfull hardware and features.

We can found the new samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 has been released recently, so the ordinary user seems little hard to choose, which one is the right smartphone to use for her/his daily basis?

Both smartphone is comes with the new octa-core processor, but how does the processo can improve the performance and how about the different with the prevous smartphone model?

Yes, this is little confusing, especially for most ordinary user, Qualcomm has releases more improvement SoC variations within each chipset generation, and the Snapdragon 800 generation is one of the new one. But There is different processor that embed on the Sony Xperia Z Ultra WiFi only and Z Ultra with HSPA+, while the Xperia Z Ultra is powered by 9074 chipset and the HSPA+ version is running with 8274. Just for your information, the Google Nexus 5 is using more newer chipset that uses  8974-AB, or also known as 8974. So, we want to show you the diffewrence between those processor.

The first have to know is the which smartphone and what kind of processor that are using in that’s smartphone? While we are know that Galaxy S5 is powered by Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC chipset. Yes, we al know that there is another Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset outthere, this is the new chipset right now but there is no smartpone that power-up with this chipste for now. So we focus to Snapdragon 801 that uses at Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z2.

But Sony Xperia Z2 is using different processor since the processor maker is built by Qualcomm and has smae name Snapdragon 801 SoC but the processor model number is dofferent with MSM8974AB, while the Galaxy S5 is using MSM8974AC right?.

It seems the Sony team that changes the processor type when they release the final version of Xperia Z2 and the processor is change to Snapdragon 801 from the previous 800 chipset model.

But some top smartphone model such as Xperia Z1, Nexus 5 and LG G2 is suing MSM8974 chipset model, this is the older version of Qualcom Snapdragon 800 processor. And the Sony Xperia Z2 is suing different proceesor with Galaxy S5, here is the comparison table to see the different between them.

As you should be able to see, there’s a fair bit of overlap between the MSM8974, MSM8974AB, and MSM8974AC. Those chipset us adopted Smae Krait 400 architecture processor but that’s all processor is quad-core chipset with 28-nanometer process, that has ability to boost graphics and camera that produce high-resolutionpciture and video encoding performance is exactly the same; while the clock-speed, graphics frequency and memory frequency  is different.

And the difference between MSM8974AB and MSM8974AC is only in graphics processor and clocked speeds, while the other parts is identical.

And the different between Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that embed on Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S5 with older Snapdragon 800 is on the GPU performace. The Galaxy S5’s chip (8974AC) is technically the fastest, with its 2.5 GHz CPU and 578 MHz GPU clock speeds, followed very closely by the Xperia Z2 (8974AB).

And now we waiting for the upcoming Snapdragon 805 processor in the market,and while for now, there is no smartphone or tablet device that using this processor yet, so let’s wait and see.
