Qualcomm spokesman says there is no Snapdragon 815
In a very brief exchange between Qualcomm’s Senior Director of Public Relations Jon Carvill and website FudZilla, Carvill delivered a very specific message: “There are no plans for a Snapdragon 815 processor.”
It had been reported around the web, including here at Talk Android, that Qualcomm was working on a cutting-edge successor to the Snapdragon 810, the 810 making its debut in many of the flagship Android OEM devices this 2015. Sadly, though, the 815 was just a myth; however, Qualcomm did shed light on its next processor, the Snapdragon 820, during this past MWC.
The Snapdragon 820 is expected to arrive at the very end of 2015 or the beginning of 2016, just in time for the annual premier of flagship smartphones. It was mentioned that the 815 was using a FinFET transistor, and you’re in luck, the real-deal 820 will be as well. Qualcomm also is designing a custom core to go with the 64-bit SoC dubbed Kyro. The chip will be based on ARMv8, but also designed by Qualcomm.
