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.
