Qualcomm Snapdragon 835: manufactured by Samsung

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835: to be manufactured using 10nm tech

Back to October, Samsung has informed that the company has invested a large amount of money on new 10nm chipset technology. Back in time, this new chipset technology was expected to be used to produce Snapdragon 830 processor. Now, Samsung are officially manufacturing the new chipset for Qualcomm. However, the name of this upcoming processor has changed a little which is Snapdragon 835 instead of 830 as expected.

Samsung will apply cutting edge 10-nanometer FinFET process for producing Snapdragon 835 which is the next generation of Qualcomm’s processor. One of the big advantages of the process is enhancing the energy efficiency as well as performance over the current 14nm FinFET technology which is used to manufacture the Snapdragon 820 and 821 models. According to Samsung’s analysis, processors coming with 10nm chipset technology would save about 40% power consumption and 30% increase in energy efficiency. As a result, the 835 chips would offer users better using experience.

In addition to performance and power benefits, the size of this next Qualcomm’s next generation chipset will be changed a little also. To be specific, this new chipset will be decreased. Therefore, the 835 chip would suitable for those smartphone makers who prefer the idea of slim design.

Future of Snapdragon 835

Along with producing smartphones, semiconductor division is also an important part of Samsung. Each year, manufacturing chipsets has highly contributed to the profit of the company. Therefore, this order of producing Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor is a promising sign for Samsung, at least, after the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco. It is high possibility that Samsung Galaxy S8 will be one of the very first smartphone to be equipped the 835 chip. As many phone brands uses Qualcomm’s processor, the 835 will be soon included in many handsets.
