Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 is based on Samsung's 10nm process

Qualcomm has announced Snapdragon 835 SoC, its next gen top-tier mobile processor, replacing Snapdragon 820/821. The chipmaker teamed with Samsung to develop the new chip.

The Snapdragon 835 SoC is built on 10nm FinFet manufacturing process, which entered mass production in October.

The 10nm FinFet process allows for up to 30 percent increase in area efficiency with 27 percent improvement in performance, while drawing 40 percent less power compared to the previous-generation 14nm Snapdragon 820/821. These process improvements, combined with a more advanced chip design, can create significant battery life enhancements.

Snapdragon 835 will support the new Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging technology which promises 20 percent faster charging than Quick Charge 3.0. Other details were not revealed.

The new chip is now in production and is expected to ship in commercial devices in the first half of 2017.
