Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 710 Platform For Midrange Android Phones (anandtech.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from AnandTech: Today Qualcomm announces a new entry to the Snapdragon lineup with the first 700-series SoC platform. The Snapdragon 710 is a direct successor to the Snapdragon 660 but comes with a new branding more worthy of the increased performance characteristics of the SoC. The big IP blocks found on the Snapdragon 710 are very much derivatives of what's found on the flagship Snapdragon 845. On the CPU side we see the same 2.2GHz maximum clock on the big cores, but the Kryo 360 Cortex A75 based CPUs are microarchitectural upgrade over last year's A72 based Kryo 260. The little cores are also based on the newer Cortex A55's and are clocked at up to 1.7GHz. The performance improvements are quoted as an overall 20% uplift in SPECint2000 and 25% faster performance in Octane and Kraken versus the SD660. The SoC now also uses the new system cache first introduced in the Snapdragon 845 -- although I'm expecting a smaller, yet unconfirmed 1MB size in the SD710. The 700-series SoC platform sports the new 600 series Adreno GPUs. They have an expected frequency of around 750MHz and up to 35% higher performance versus the Adreno 512 in the SD660.
"In terms of connectivity the new SoC implements an X15 modem which is capable of UE Category 15 in the downstream with up to 800Mbps in 4x carrier aggregation and up to UE Category 7 in the upload with up to 2x CA and 256 QAM," reports AnandTech. "The new chipset now also offers 2x2 802.11ac digital backend for Wi-Fi -- however it'll still need an external discrete analog RF frontend."

Are these equipped with the latest Meltdown and Spectre capabilities?
See subject: I know this is off-topic, but I know of no better way to apologize to everyone for my behavior. I'm very sorry for my behavior on Slashdot and elsewhere.
* One of my children asked me why I insult people, repost the same personal attacks repeatedly, and even make threats. This was a life-changing moment for me, knowing that my children can Google me and see how I act online. It's awful that they have to be embarrassed of their father's behavior online, and even worse that they might think my behavior is acceptable and imitate me. That affected me more than anything else, and convinced me I couldn't continue in my behavior.
I want to apologize to Ash-Fox, Brockmire, Coren22, amicusNYCL, PopeRatzo, arth1, Zontar The Mindless, and all the other people I've offended. I can't undo my behavior, but I won't be repeating my past conduct. I've been attacking people like this for two decades and it's time for me to stop. I will post this comment a few times in different articles so as many people as possible can see that I'm apologizing to them. I will not, however, be reposting my comment and spamming articles when this off-topic comment is properly moderated to -1. I am truly sorry for my behavior, and I will also be apologizing to my family for how I've acted and embarrassed them. I have deserved every bit of the criticism that I have received and then some.
I will continue to develop my hosts file software in hopes that it is useful as part of a comprehensive security solution. I want to be known for the quality of my software, not my vile behavior.

While the top-line phones with the Snapdragon 8xx get all of the raves for performance (especially when benchmarking) to me, the 6xx is where really compelling phones are. You get good-enough performance with long-lasting battery life AND your phone won't feel like it's on fire during heavy use (cough...gaming...cough). The performance differences between $800 phones and $200 is basically negligible at this point, and it's the 6xx chips that allow that.
This new 710 could be a real game-changer in that regard. Great performance but not trying to max out performance just to please the benchmarkers over at Tom's or Anand or wherever.
Your troll is unconvincing because it ignores the fundamental fact that every neckbeard on this accursed site has and will never reproduce. Particularly APK.
Come on man, your blatant disregard for even the least shred plausibility is just plain insulting. Try harder.
Proprietary, I presume? Usable with recent software for at most a couple of years? No, thanks.
"The Snapdragon 710 is a direct successor to the Snapdragon 660 but comes with a new branding more worthy of the increased performance characteristics of the SoC."
Sometimes I wish I was in marketing instead of actually building things. The Qualcomm marketing team changed the product number from 6xx to 7xx to make it "more worthy of increased performance." I'm surprised they haven't discovered four digit numbers yet.
Wrong: Only thing you "got" is zero vs. me asking a worthless shitbag like you did better than I https://slashdot.org/comments.... & as far as "making yourself hard" you worthless waste of LIFE freak? Don't bother - I don't you have any "lead in your pencil" NOR would it create a better man - it would propogate MORE of "YOUR KIND" in weasel like slime in the world... lol!

P.S.=> You're the fucking little PUNY tool (2") & I'd snap you in 1/2 w/ EASE I'm sure of it IF I could just get a little TWAT like you in front of me to do it... apk
See subject: It's always a pleasure showing everyone how stupid you are drug addict mentalboy https://tech.slashdot.org/comm... you piece of SHIT from a country of men w/ NO BALLS & yes, you're from Sweden shitbag!
Which you tried LYING about to me after your twisted weak ass sent me a postcard from there (like the obsessed stinking little MENTALBOY whimp w/ "depression" (lmao, whimp) & drugged up CREEP you are fucker) but too bad I saw your post about the restaurant in Stockholm recently.
* You & yours from "SWEDEN"? NO BALLS - you let your women get RAPED by muslims (whereas MY TRIBE, poles, DROVE THEM OFF when all the rest of Europe, except Lithuania, RAN)!
You pitiful little no balls worms (which is WHY You are HOW you are - you can't help it - you're DESCENDED FROM SHITBAG PUNKS!)
APK
P.S.=> Truth HURT cocksucker? Meet me in person (you 'brag' you're a 'world-traveller' (big deal, I've seen europe too) 'rich man' (not - you're an impoverished little LOSER, no questions asked) - come meet me FACE TO FACE & talk your shit to me bitch... apk
Your numbering/naming scheme makes no sense at all!
It's really hard to say which of these SoCs are new/old faster/older: 425, 625, 626, 630, 636, 650, 651, 652, 653, 660, 710, 800, 801, 808, 810, 820, 821, 835, 845, etc. etc. etc.
It's sheer madness.
So were reading announcements that there's a new mid rangeprocessor? is it excpetionally mid range, never before reaching such middleness before? the absolute middleness on all specs and price? Wow. that must have been hard to achieve
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
See subject (lol) & the viral hit by "The SoyBoyz": ''If you're going to TransManCisco? Be sure you wear your jimmyhats + bring Preparation H there. If you're going, to TransManCisco... You're going to meet a lot of transtesticle monsters and soyboy not men there. All across the nation: Surgical sawblade vibrations! Surgeons in motion, Sawing peckers + ball off tossing them into the SF Bay Ocean...'
* They're playing YOUR SONG again - hahahaha classic!
(Only way "your kind" would EVER get any notice &/or notoriety...)
APK
P.S.=> Quit projecting your own mental issues onto me... apk
Snapdragon 710 phones will probably be in the $400-600 range, not $200.
I don't really like these so-called mid range phones because you can usually get the previous year flagship (used) for cheaper and get more performance, a better display and a better camera.
Right, but it's better than $800. To me (a proud owner of the Moto G5 Plus), there is no reason to ever spend more than $300 on a phone anymore. They don't have better battery life, they don't have better cameras (excepting the iPhone) and they don't look visually better (except for lame gimmicks like rounded screen edges).
iPhones don't have the best cameras and yes, flagship phones have better cameras than $300 phones. Just look on Dxomark or any review.
Hohohohoho see the CLASSIC proof of that here soyboys as you DRINK the golden wine https://tech.slashdot.org/comm... straight from MY tap (of GOLDEN piss), all natural ingredients, naturally filtered (of ME pissing right into your shitbag mouths & funniest part is, you help me DO it - you LIKE it, lol!).
Do you LIKE the taste? Obviously yes - just like folks like my hosts engine, anything I put out, even piss, is GOOD (unlike "your kind").
Above all else though? Hey - MOMMY LOVES YOU!
APK
P.S.=> Hahahahaha (I think this is the BEST overall letting you SHEMALE soyboys destroy yourselves for GOLD (ask SuckerBERG about that - he's the expert as is all his kind are - heading into ZylonB & Furnace time again judging by what's happening - the PRICE of it is that, always, they don't learn)... apk
iPhone does have the best camera among smartphones. period
