Snapdragon 820 announced.

A quad core chip. Thank you for not mindlessly increasing core count, Qualcomm. Its not using big.LITTLE and its a custom design which should be good.

There have been rumors of overheating.

QC naturally denies those rumors, but I remember them doing the same when the same rumors started to surface with the S810 before we had shipping products.

I guess we'll see how it does. I think the CPU performance increase should be good but I'm a bit underwhelmed by their GPU increases of late. Maybe I'm spoiled by Apple's 80-90% GPU performance increases generation over generation in these last few years.

Apple has been on fire lately.

The success, or lack of same, of the 820 will essentially make or break Qualcomms CPU division.

It doesn't help that Samsung announced they'll be using their own Exynos cpu in their next Gen galaxy line. Qualcomm has been left out in the cold....seems like the writing is on the wall.

There is a reason why some stockholders already wanted the CPU division spun off.
