Qualcomm Snapdragon 865: Hey guys so, I am back with our fresh new article on latest update from Qualcomm. Yeah, you guessed it right, I am talking about Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. Recently Qualcomm announced the all new Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 mobile platform in Maui and this is basically their flagship mobile chipset for 2020. You are pretty much gonna see it in like every single flagship Android phone in the coming year. There is a lot to unpack here.
Firstly this is still a 7 nanometer chipset so, there is no dice ranked since the 855 but that does not mean that it is not quite a bit better. There are lot of improvement in this chipset. So, let’s get started.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 865: Top 5 features to know.
Performance & Battery:
Firstly starting with performance and battery efficiency, Qualcomm is rating the Snapdragon 865 to have 25 percent better performance and battery efficiency over the Snapdragon 855 and that’s a pretty big jump that’s mostly due to the fact that they are now using the A77 chip from arm for the CPU and that’s just a much better architecture because it is around the same clock speed as it was in the last chip. The prime core is 2.5 gigahertz and the big core is 2.4 gigahertz for the architecture is just so much better that you are getting 25% better power efficiency and 25% better performance.
GPU:
Now talking about GPU, Qualcomm is rating the new Adreno 650 to have about 25 percent better performance than the Adreno 640 and 35 percent better battery efficiency. So, you can kind of see a trend going here. You have got quite a bit better performance and quite a bit better battery efficiency across the board.
Now something else that is pretty cool with this GPU. It’s gonna support 144 Hertz HDR 10 + QHD+ displays and that’s really nice to see because we have seen 90 Hertz displays, we have seen 120 Hertz displays just this year alone and that means that we’re probably going to see high refresh rate displays become a lot more popular in 2020 and the fact that is HDR 10+ is just icing on that cake.
Now something else that is cool about the adreno 650 is that the GPU drivers are actually separated from the rest of the chipset and that’s pretty much how traditional GPUs have worked in like desktops and laptops previously. You would download the GPU drivers because the manufacturer could issue updates for it and that means that you will now be able to download drivers for the adreno 650 GPU over the Google Play Store. So, your GPU is gonna get better over time.
AI performance:
Moving on to AI, here we’ve got overall about two times AI performance in this chip and four times tensor performance in the tensor processor in the DSP. There is also about 35 percent better battery efficiency as well. So, again we are going a lot more performance and a lot more battery efficiency in this chip that’s gonna help with things like semantic segmentation in the camera where it can separate aspects of your face and cloth and apply filters differently to make the image look overall better. There is obviously a lot of use cases for AI and smartphones and I will make a separate article on it.
5G:
Now talking about the most highlighted aspect or feature of this chipset, 5G and this is the first smartphone to support the new X 55 modem from Qualcomm and this is a 5G modem. There are a lot of benefits to this modem if you want to read them then comment it below I will definitely gonna make an article on it.
Camera:
Maybe most impressively is the new spectra isp that’s in the snapdragon 865. Now the biggest thing is that it can process 2 Giga pixels per second of data and that’s a huge increase and usually you are gonna have to just bump the clock speed to get more data throughput but Qualcomm actually did the opposite. They are lowering the clock speed in their processing 4 pixels per clock instead of one pixel per clock at a higher clock rate. This is a lot of benefits because you are saving about 16 percent of energy efficiency and you can process way more data which is enabling a lot of different things. One of those is 200 megapixel images and another is 8k 30fps video, 4k 120fps video 720p 960fps videos sustained for over 10 minutes.
There is so many benefits to this. I actually did a deep dive into all the new features that are coming to the camera because of the two gigabit per second processing.

That’s all for today and gonna about to wrap it up. Till then take care, Thank you✌.
Great blog and helpful blog
