Rumor: Samsung is bringing in more engineers to optimize the Snapdragon 820 for the Galaxy S7
After dropping the ball with the Snapdragon 810, a chip that was plagued by poor thermal performance, Qualcomm has a lot riding on the Snapdragon 820. Although the chipmaker has yet to announce all of the hardware details, Qualcomm has already revealed that its upcoming high-end chip will come with a custom CPU architecture, an Adreno 530 GPU that's said to be 40% faster than the Adreno 430 inside the Snapdragon 810, a new DSP chip, as well as built-in malware protection.
Unfortunately, we can't verify the validity of this rumor, so make sure to digest this info with a hefty dose of the proverbial grain of salt.
