Gizchina News of the week


According to it, both of these two chipsets will be built on the 10nm architecture but… with a twist: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 will use Samsung’s LPE process and Huawei’s Kirin 970 SoC will rely on TSMC’s FinFET technology. If we are to believe what the specs sheet, then the upcoming Snapdragon 845 SoC will pack 4 Cortex-A75 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores and will rely on the Adreno 630 GPU, offering an X20 baseband and 5X20MHz carrier aggregation.

Qualcomm’s next-gen chipser is rumored to ship in the first quarter of 2018 and it will be used in the flagship models of most major manufacturers (Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi, LG).

Huawei’s Kirin 970 SoC however, will be the first to use the ARM Heimdallr MP (Heimdal) GPU, it will rely on ARM Cortex A73 cores and it should be available during the 3rd-4th quarter of this year.

Previous Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is scheduled to be unveiled next week!

    Can’t wait for the sd845, still running on the sd800 and sd801 chippers are still brilliant. Hoping I can buy a 4k tablet next year with this sd845.
