In ultimul timp Qualcomm si-a tot schimbat planurile pentru viitoarele sale platforme Snapdragon. Intai a dorit ca urmatoarea geneatie sa contina nuclee proprii realizate pe baza arhitecturii ARMv8 pe 64 bits. Ulterior, cand ARM a prezentat Cortex A72, a revenit spunand ca va adopta imediat si acest nou core.
Iar acum, la MWC 2015, ne vorbeste despre Snapdragon 820, care inca o data va fi realizata pe baza unor nuclee de factura proprie. Acestea au fost botezate Kyro, sunt pe 64 bits, si folosesc arhitectura ARMv8-A. Mai stim ca pentru a fi competitiva, aceasta platforma are nevoie de un proces de fabricatie performant, FinFET (probabil va fi produsa la Samsung, care sta destul de bine la acest capitol).
Primele mostre de Snapdragon 820 vor fi gata spre mijlocul acestui an 2015, pentru a putea ajunge in smartphone-urile high end ale sfarsitului de an si inceputului de 2016. Dar in aceasta perioada Kyro va avea de furca cu viitorul Cortex A72, si ramane de vazut care va fi mai performant si mai economic. Krait s-a descurcat destul de bine in fata lui Cortex A15…
@Alexandru D – asta este unul din articolele alea care au fost scrise in graba doar ca sa fie scrise?
Another announcement Qualcomm made about the Snapdragon 820 was in relation to the Zeroth cognitive computing platform. For the past several years, Qualcomm has been working on Neural Processing Units (NPUs), as the company calls them, which are processors that mimic human learning.
„The premium mobile experiences of the future will extend beyond traditional features and functionality and be defined by devices that have the ability to learn and adapt to the needs of the user, through fully harnessing the growing levels of compute, multimedia and connectivity in our mobile devices,” said Cristiano Amon, executive vice president of Qualcomm Technologies and co-president of QCT. „At MWC 2015 we’ll take the first steps towards realizing this vision with the Zeroth platform, and set the stage for a new level of intelligence and personalization for mobile devices. Zeroth intelligence will scale across a wide range of implementations from automobiles, wearables, smartphones and client computing and have a learned personalization that has the ability to transfer across devices and as a consumer upgrade to the next generation.”
The idea is to get artificial intelligence to learn as a human would, through positive reinforcement. Back in 2013, Qualcomm envisioned that these NPUs will one day be part of a regular SoC, just like a CPU or a GPU. The Snapdragon 820 will be the first chip to make that vision a reality.

No offense, dar ai ratat partea cea mai importanta la aceasta stire despre Snapdragon 820, ca de informatii legate de tipul de arhitectura suntem cam plictisiti.
Ce? Gargara de marketing? Ce viziune au ei asupra lumii si ce si-ar dori sa se intample? Chiar crezi ca Snapdragon 820 va avea ceva cognitiv in ea? Eu am prezentat lucrurile tangibile, care au sanse sa se materializeze. Nu teoriile lor de perspectiva indepartata.
Sunt curios daca ai aceeasi parere si despre Jules Verne. Ca si ala avea la idei nastrusnice …
Buna asta….
Sau Asimov…
