Snapdragon 670 Explained! Best Mid-Range Processor With AI?
To this day the best
processor or the highest-end processor for Mid-Range phone was Qualcomm
Snapdragon 660, but yesterday Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 670 SoC for
Mid-Range smartphones and it has some pretty darn specs with AI just crammed in
as good as possible. The Snapdragon 670 is a processor between 660 and the
710(Also for Mid-range smartphones). Talking about straight up benchmark
results and improvements over the 660, the 670 performs 20% better. You can also learn more about processors in detail here.
Now, let’s take a look at the detailed
specifications! Be aware that Snapdragon 670 has much in common with Snapdragon
710 than it does with 660. The Snapdragon 670 processor is a Octa-core (8
cores) processor with 6 Kryo A55-based cores handling task being capped at
1.7GHz and 2 Kryo 360 A75-based cores capped at 2.0GHz. The chip is based on
superior 10nm technology rather than common 12nm (Smaller is better). You may
have noticed that all the cores are not the same, it is because the chip has a
semi-custom design. The chip can support FHD+ display whereas Snapdragon 710 supports
QHD+ displays.
The new chipset support a single camera
sensor with 25MP size or a dual 16MP setup. The chipset will also support
common features like depth sensing, stabilizations, super resolution, noise
reduction, Slow-motion shots, and 4K recording. It funds Bluetooth 5.0, 802.11ac
2×2 Wi-Fi, and the Snapdragon X12 LTE modem. For the RAM freaks the chipset can
support up to 8GB of DDR4 memory at 1866MHz. The chip also supports Qualcomm Quick
Charge 4.0+ which can charge phones to 100% in 15 minutes.
If you visit QUALCOMM’s page for the info
on the Snapdragon 670, you will come across a big fat area which covers the AI capabilities
of the processor. But all that matters is that Snapdragon 670 supports AI
camera features to setup better environments for photos and other effects. And
for the performance part, the chip has QUALCOMM’s 3rd generation AI Engine,
designed to deliver up to 1.8x AI performance than available in the previous
generation. Because its AI capabilities are on-device, users can expect near
real-time responsiveness, improved privacy, and enhanced reliability, even when
the device lacks a network connection.
That is all you need to know about the Snapdragon
670 and you can expect to see phones equipped with this chip in Q4 2018. What
do you think which company will use this chip first- Samsung, Xiaomi, Asus,
Motorola, or anyone else? Well, whoever it maybe, you can learn about who used
it first at RW Tech blog. And to read more of such informative news and
