Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Boosts CPU and GPU Performance, Delivers 4K HDR Capture, 3x Faster AI Processing (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: Qualcomm provided a deep-dive view today of its Snapdragon 845 mobile processor platform that it recently announced, highlighting key advancements in what the company is referring to as a completely new silicon design. The new chip now employs a Kyro 385 CPU with four high performance cores at 2.8GHz (25 percent faster than the previous gen Snapdragon 835) and four "efficiency" cores operating at 1.7GHz. The new chip also includes the new Spectra 280 image signal processor (ISP). Compared to its predecessor, the image signal processor (ISP) in the Snapdragon 845 promises a 64x uplift in the ability to capture high dynamic range (HDR) color information for 4K HDR video capture and playback. The chip's new Adreno 630 GPU promises a 30 percent boost in gaming performance compared to its predecessor, along with room-scale VR/AR experiences that support 6 degrees of freedom along with simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM. Finally, the new SoC platform incorporates Qualcomm's second-generation gigabit LTE modem: the Snapdragon X20. This Cat 18 modem supports peak download speeds of 1.2Gbps along with 5x carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, and Dual SIM-Dual VoLTE. Qualcomm says that the first Snapdragon 845 processors will begin shipping in production devices in early 2018.
Nice press release. How many patents will be abused because of this? Qualcomm is a patent troll.
"Qualcomm says that the first Snapdragon 845 processors will begin shipping in production devices in early 2018."
Translation: The Galaxy S9 will have this CPU. :/
A shame that Samsung have 'pulled an Apple' and decided flexibility is out the window.
They've basically stopped making their top end phones, with a flat screen anymore at all. It's all curved rubbish. Plus they've ditched the home button
I bet they copy Apple and remove the headphone jack too. Used to love their stuff (had 5 of their phones now) but I think I'm done with them.
The Ghost In The Shell "reboot" movie was bad enough. Wish I could unwatch it, but I can't. Adding insult to injury, "Deep Dive" is now becoming a buzzword.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have backups to corrupt.
Maybe the next article will be how A.I. is going to defeat the Bitcoin mining algorithms and will be posted by Ethereum fanatics.

Please ignore/abuse/shame his fatness.
He starts spamming slashdot with amazon ads and other stupid shit if he feels comfortable.
If you need other reasons to chase him away he says moving to Mexico to marry an "underage sweet thing" is about "getting the most bang from your retirement dollars". He also will argue endlessly that it's completely legal for him, (a 50ish year old dude) to marry a woman under 18 in most of the USA. He claims that it's as American as apple pie. For some reason that particular phrase is something he likes saying verbatim over as part of any debate on the subject.
For the record he asserts he has no interest in child brides. He only talks about them on web 1.0 technology websites with unusual regularity.
Thats cool, didn't know that's the name for VR+AR is XR and not MR.
Was disappointed the Mixed Reality MR headsets that came out, is just a branding name and not really a AR+VR set, its VR only.

Umm... the thread was already offtopic. I simply commented in it.
Sexual harassment and sexual assault should not be tolerated. But there's no nuance to the discussions, no proportionality between the allegations and the reaction. People are afraid to speak up and question what's going on right now. The are some parallels between Star Trek TNG'S The Drumhead and movements like #Metoo.
When anyone who calls into question how far the movement will go is labeled as being against women, which I've seen happen, it's out of hand. I'm for changing the status quo, but left unchecked, these movements get out of hand. When that happens, the consequences can be harmful to most or all involved. Look at the French Revolution as a movement based on an admirable goal that completely got out of control.
The goal seems to be to punish men, but there isn't a lot of discussion on how to actually solve the problem. The real issue is the differential in power that lends itself to abuse, and how when victims speak up, they often face retribution. Yes, there needs to be consequences for abuse, but that doesn't actually solve the problem that enables the abuse to happen to begin with. That is the logical end goal, but that's not what the movement seems to be after.

Integrated X20 modem is nice, and given Qualcomm's expertise it will be very fast.
CPU is another story though, according to their own numbers it still will be slower than A11. That PA Semi purchase seems better by the day, Apple is walking all over the competition.
Some people may consider this to be inconsequential, but we're seeing for the first time since 2015 the "LITTLE" CPU cores in the "big.LITTLE" CPU configurations updated from A53 to A55.

Just another MGTOW loser. How can you tell? It's easy, look for the Holy Trinity of MGTOW beliefs and practices:
Can't find a good woman? Cry about it on the internet.
Is your female boss giving you a hard time? Cry about it.
Lose a job offer or a promotion to a woman? Cry, cry, cry.
