Love to play computer games On June 27, it was reported that Qualcomm low-key released Snapdragon 429, 439 and 632 SoC products at the Shanghai Mobile Conference.

Qualcomm claims that there are more than 1350 mobile terminals based on the Snapdragon 600 platform and more than 2300 products based on the Snapdragon 400 mobile platform.

Xiaolong 632: a small toothpaste with ordinary sincerity

The most advanced is Snapdragon 632, which is a mid tier product to replace Snapdragon 625/626. The biggest upgrade of the 14nm process is that the CPU architecture has been upgraded from A53 to the 1.8GHz Kryo 250 architecture (the castration version of Kryo 260 on Snapdragon 636?), claiming a 40% performance increase. The GPU is still Adreno 506, Even the X9 LTE baseband has not changed. Instead, the DSP was upgraded to Hexagon 546.

You know, the dragon 630 is Adreno 508, but Qualcomm claims that the GPU performance is improved by 10% (higher frequency?). The camera can support up to 24 million pixels for a single camera or 13 million pixels for dual cameras, and the supported screen resolution has also been improved to 1080P+(but actually the red rice 5 Plus of Snapdragon 625 is already using a full 1080P+screen).

Snapdragon 439 and 429: price performance

These two SoCs are Qualcomm's first products to use the 12nm process, and both have introduced AI functions to enhance the shooting, voice and security experience. In addition, the CPU used is still A53, the Snapdragon 439 is 8-core 1.95 GHz (the dominant frequency and architecture are very close to the Snapdragon 625), and the Snapdragon 429 is 4-core 1.95 GHz. Compared with the eight cores of the previous generation Snapdragon 425 [email protected] In terms of frequency alone, the performance improvement should be about 25%.

For GPU, the Snapdragon 439 is Adreno 505 (claimed to increase by 20%), while the Snapdragon 429 is Adreno 504 (claimed to increase by 50%); The former supports a maximum of 21 million pixel single camera or 8 million pixel dual camera, and also supports a maximum of 1080P+screen; The latter supports up to 16 million pixel single shot or 8 million pixel dual shot, but the screen resolution only supports 720P+.

Summary

In order to reduce the migration costs of OEMs, Qualcomm makes the pins of Snapdragon 439 and 429 fully compatible, while the software of Snapdragon 632/429/439 is compatible with each other, as well as with Snapdragon 626, 625 and 450. The products equipped with these three SoCs are expected to be launched in the second half of this year.

In conclusion, this year's toothpaste package is very tight, with a lot of low-end squeezing, but the middle end squeezing is very reluctant. It seems that we will have to wait another year to see the performance jump of the low-end entry-level Android devices.
