Qualcomm's 64-bit Snapdragon 810 debuts in AnTuTu!

The Wait is over, The Mobile Chip Giant Qualcomm's much awaited Snapdragon 810 Spotted in the AnTuTu!
Judging from the focus on this feature, it looks like 64-bit
computing might just be the next big thing for mobile devices – if
the efforts from SoC manufacturers like NVIDIA and Qualcomm are
any evidence. NVIDIA has the 64-bit version of the Tegra K1 , and
Qualcomm has the Snapdragon 810, with the latter now making an
appearance at AnTuTu’s benchmarking databases.
The new SoC – earmarked with code number MSM8994 – is
reportedly still in its testing phase, but what we see here is an
unofficial sneak peek into what it looks like. The model is an octa-
core chip – quad Cortex-A57and quad Cortex-A53 – with AnTuTu
reporting some low speeds per core at testing phase (200 to
940.8Mhz). None of the cores are even breaking 1Ghz at this point,
so we might still be seeing huge improvement in this aspect soon.
The test device is a strange one. It is yet unnamed, but what we
know is that it sports a 6.2-inch 2560x1600 display being run by the
SoC’s Adreno 430 graphics chip, backstopped by a whopping 4GBs
of RAM on an Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. Any guesses?
This is clearly a developmental stage for the Snapdragon 810, and
with NVIDIA already promising great leaps with its 64-bit Tegra K1,
Qualcomm really needs to get this one together fairly quickly and
efficiently. What will be the first Snapdragon 810 device? Tell us if
you have any theories on this.
