New Coming from Qualcomm "Snapdragon 875", What to expect??



Smartphones these days are powerhouses, able to perform any process, and graphics-intensive task you throw at them. This is made possible with the new age processors which are venturing into new horizons with each passing year. Qualcomm is getting ready to release its next Snapdragon processor by the end of this year, and it is going to come with significant improvements thanks to its new 5nm process, making it smaller than the 7nm predecessor. Here is all that you need to know about Snapdragon 875 and what it brings for the next-gen smartphones.

5nm chips are almost 20-percent more power-efficient than the 7nm SoCs and also 25-percent smaller. Of course, the performance is going to be better than the Snapdragon 865 and the current flagship Snapdragon 865 Plus. Now that the speculation is around that the SoC will be using the ARM Cortex-X1 Super Core, one can expect stellar performance.



This will give the chipset a clear speed advantage of around 30-percent as compared to the chipsets using the ARM Cortex A77. It is also better than the Cortex A78 cores architecture for a processor. Qualcomm has banked on Taiwan’s TSMC for manufacturing its flagship line of processors. Even though Samsung got the contract to manufacture the Snapdragon 820 back in 2016. According to reports, this time around the Snapdragon 875 is going to be manufactured by Samsung Electronics. The contract for the same is valued between $850 million to $1 billion, and it is already being mass-produced using the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment at the new foundry line in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. This signifies a moral win for Samsung Electronics who is also working on an in-house 5nm processor. As mentioned, the Snapdragon 875 will have ample firepower and will be able to take the fight to the A14 Bionic chip. The recent performance figures of the A14 Bionic processor have shown a marginal gain over the A13 chip when we talk in terms of GPU and CPU performance. This indicates that Apple has taken a small step further from the A13 chip while Snapdragon 875 will be a bigger stride for Qualcomm from the Snapdragon 865 series chipsets. Then there is the oddly named Exynos 2100 SoC by Samsung, which will be based on the 5nm architecture. The processor in all likelihood will use the Cortex-A78 cores and not the better performing Cortex-X1 cores. This will give the Snapdragon 875 a fair advantage as Exynos has not been at par with the Snapdragon versions in their own Samsung flagships that have the Snapdragon version for some regions of the world.


Phones with Snapdragon 875

The race to get the latest and greatest SoC of 2021 is already underway. According to sources Xiaomi and Vivo are the ones who’ll introduce the chipset first on their smartphones. Xiaomi Mi 11 (maybe the name will be Xiaomi Mi 20) with the under camera display technology or Redmi K40 Pro, could be the first device to sport Snapdragon 875. The chipset will also be seen in the Samsung S21 line of smartphones, set to unveil in February 2021. According to a recent development, Qualcomm has collaborated with Asus to come-up with Snapdragon 875-powered gaming phones under the Qualcomm brand. The first device will debut in early 2021, so it could also very well be the first phone to have the flagship processor. There’s a high probability of this because Qualcomm would want to reveal its phone with a USP – the first phone to have Snapdragon 875.

Google Camera 7.5 changes the file naming scheme and stops saving portrait photos in separate folders

Google Camera 7.5, the latest version of the camera app for Google Pixel smartphones, had earlier been spotted throwing around hints for the Pixel 4a 5G  and Pixel 5, alongside hints for features such as audio zoom, expanded social share, and more camera modes. The same version of the app also brings around some more changes, notably a change in the file naming scheme for photos and finally stopping the behavior for saving portrait photos in a separate folder. In Google Camera 7.5, portrait photos will no longer be saved into their own folders, which is a move that is likely to be appreciated by everyone. On older versions, any portrait pics that you clicked would be saved inside individual folders within the DCIM/Camera directory, which was frankly a terrible implementation. Using most gallery solutions would mean that you had to venture into each individual folder to check out the images, plus your photos would not show up chronologically, and deleting the pictures would still le...

NVIDIA to Acquire Arm for $40 Billion, Creating World’s Premier Computing Company for the Age of AI

 NVIDIA and SoftBank Group Corp. (SBG) today announced a definitive agreement under which NVIDIA will acquire Arm Limited from SBG and the SoftBank Vision Fund (together, “SoftBank”) in a transaction valued at $40 billion. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to NVIDIA’s non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per share. The combination brings together NVIDIA’s leading AI computing platform with Arm’s vast ecosystem to create the premier computing company for the age of artificial intelligence, accelerating innovation while expanding into large, high-growth markets. SoftBank will remain committed to Arm’s long-term success through its ownership stake in NVIDIA, expected to be under 10 percent. “AI is the most powerful technology force of our time and has launched a new wave of computing,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “ In the years ahead, trillions of computers running AI will create a new internet-of-things that is thousands of times larger ...
