QUALCOMM's SoC "Snadpragon 400", Nokia'sLumia 625·Lumia 1320, Samsung'sGalaxy Mega 6.3·Galaxy Tab 3.7.0·Galaxy S4 miniIt is adopted by smartphones and tablets ranging from middle range to low end. "Snapdragon 410" announced this time is 400 orthodox evolution type chip, it is the first 64-bit SoC for QUALCOMM products.

Snapdragon 410 is manufactured in 28 nanometer process,Cortex-A 53Adopted the quad core (4 cores) of the processor, adopted by Snapdragon 400Cortex-A 7It boasts the above performance. Although Cortex-A 53 has the same instruction set and functions as Cortex-A 57, which is a higher-level processor, it reduces the frequency to reduce power consumption, thereby improving energy efficiency per core and performance per power consumption, It seems to be expected to reduce the battery consumption which becomes a problem with smartphones.

In addition, Snapdragon 410 is compatible with cameras with 13 million pixels,AdrenoAdoption of 305 evolution version "Adreno 306" GPU enables playback of 1080p HD movies. In addition, for differentiation from high-end model chips, it does not correspond to 4K movie playback.

In addition, Snapdragon 410 integrates 3G and 4G LTE within the cell. This corresponds to the situation where the infrastructure development of 4 G LTE is being advanced in China · emerging countries, and the low price smart phones adopting Snapdragon 410 will come out, 4 G LTE will further expand That's right.

Snapdragon 410 is expected to be available in the latter half of 2014 as sample chips will be offered to development partners in the first half of 2014.
