Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 Performance Preview - Snapdragon Becomes Snappier
The Snapdragon brand is synonymous with performance. It creates anxiety that competing SoCs feel deep down in their silicon substrate. But can Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 805 maintain its dominance in the Android-based smartphone market?
- Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 805 on 20 November 2013 as the next processor of its Snapdragon 800 tier, sampling then and expected in commercial devices by the first half of 2014[2]
- Tom's Hardware published its hands-on performance preview of the Snapdragon 805 on 31 July 2014[1]
- Snapdragon powers over 1350 devices, and Qualcomm's 64-bit Snapdragon 810 is due in 2015[1]
Notable features
- Tom's Hardware's Snapdragon 805 preview covers Qualcomm's Krait 450 quad-core CPU (peak up to 2.65 GHz, 28 nm, the last high-end 32-bit Qualcomm design), Adreno 420 GPU and Gobi 9x35 LTE Advanced modem[1]
- Reported as the first commercially available mobile SoC supporting 4K viewing[1]
- Qualcomm says the new Adreno 420 GPU has up to 40 percent more graphics processing power than its predecessor and adds hardware tessellation and geometry shaders, for on-device Ultra HD display concurrent with output to an HDTV[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
