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.

Apple iPhone 12 series to launch in October!!!

As Apple confirmed that its upcoming iPhone 12 series would not launch in September, the iPhone maker is now said to hold the launch event in October. The India availability of new iPhone models in India happens typically a week after they become available in the US.  It should be noted that several industry analysts had earlier predicted that the iPhone models launching in 2020 would get delayed. The tech giant has not specified further details about the delay in the launch. However, Apple's announcement came soon after global chip making giant Qualcomm indicated at a brief delay in the launch of the iPhone 12 line up that could comprise four new models. Akash Palkhiwala, Qualcomm CFO had suggested the delay and said: “a slight delay that pushes some of the units out from the September quarter to the December quarter for us.” iPhone 12 range will be announced on the week commencing October 12 (which might mean an announcement on Tuesday, October 13, since Apple often unveils thin...

Neuralink: Elon Musk unveils pig with chip in its brain

  Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their minds. Mr.Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. But the long-term ambition is to usher in an age of what Mr.Musk calls "superhuman cognition", in part to combat artificial intelligence so powerful he says it could destroy the human race. Elon Musk reveals brain-hacking plans Gertrude was one of three pigs in pens that took part in Friday's webcast demo. She took a while to get going, but when she ate and sniffed ...

Safari to support password-less logins

Safari 14, the version of Apple’s browser that will ship with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, will let you use Face ID or Touch ID to log in to websites built to support the feature. The functionality was confirmed in the browser’s beta release notes, and Apple has detailed how the feature works in a WWDC video for developers. The functionality is built on the Web Authn component of the FIDO2 standard, developed by the FIDO Alliance. It should make logging into a website as easy as logging into an app secured with Touch ID or Face ID.WebAuthn is an API that aims to make web logins simpler and more secure. Unlike passwords, which are often easily guessed and vulnerable to phishing attacks, WebAuthn uses public key cryptography and can use security methods like biometrics or hardware security keys to verify your identity. It’s a standard that individual websites need to add support for, but being supported by the stock browser in iOS has the potential to be a major boost for adoption.This isn’...
