MWC is currently on its way. We are hearing big from different companies and now Qualcomm also has something big for us. At MWC 2014 Qualcomm has just announced its 3 new chipsets Snapdragon 801, 610 and 615. The Snapdragon 801 is a minor upgrade to its predecessors Snapdragon 800. A few things upgraded in Snapdragon 801 includes overclocking of memory bus from 800MHz to 933MHz. The CPU clock speed has also been overclocked from 2.26GHz to 2.45GHz and GPU from 450MHz to 578MHz. Along with these features it includes support for eMMC 5.0 standard, which allows the use of faster embedded flash storage, such as the new SanDisk iNAND Extreme.
Talking about Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 and 615 both are Qualcomm’s newest 64-bit chipsets. The Snapdragon 610 has four 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 cores with Adreno 405 GPU. The 615 has everything identical to 610 except the number of cores which are doubles from 4 cores to 8 cores. GPU and CPU clock speed of both devices are still unknown.
