As we all know, smart watches, like smartphones, need smart chips as a foundation. At present, Qualcomm's chips are still the choice of most smart watches. Of course, the chip developed by Qualcomm for smart watches is also divided into high-end and low-end, not a simple one.
At present, the more mainstream is Qualcomm's Wear 4100 series chips, including the widely used Qualcomm Wear4100 and Qualcomm Wear4100+.
Many people care, Qualcomm Wear4100 chip, how does it perform? In fact, in terms of parameters, it cannot be compared with snapdragon flagship chips. Other aspects do not say, but in terms of process, Qualcomm Wear4100 uses a 12nm process; nevertheless, it has made too much progress over the 28nm process of the previous generation of Qualcomm Wear3100.
However, unlike the previous squeeze toothpaste, this time Qualcomm Wear5100 has leaked a lot of indicators.
The informant WinFuture.de, saying that this generation of chips has a very significant improvement compared to Qualcomm Wear4100. Among them, the most critical is the process, Qualcomm Wear5100 and Qualcomm Wear5100+ use the 4nm process, compared with the previous generation of performance improvement is very significant.
In terms of process, the Qualcomm Wear5100 uses a molded laser package (MLP) that separates the SoC from the power management IC.
Not only that, but it is said that the Plus model of Qualcomm Wear5100 will have an additional QCC5100 coprocessor of arm Cortex-M55 that can handle data and Bluetooth connections completely on its own, including notifications, while Wear 5100+ can handle more demanding tasks.
In other respects, Qualcomm Wear5100 and Qualcomm Wear5100+, will use four ARMCortex-A53 cores with a 1.7GHz main frequency and an Adreno 702 GPU of 700MHz. Above the function, it can easily cope with up to two imaginary wind head sensors, video recording also supports 1080P, memory supports LPDDR4X, and storage supports eMMC 5.1.
Of course, these parameters are currently not comparable to the mainstream Snapdragon processor, but it is clear that the processor of the smart watch has also entered the era of inner volume.
According to the news, this processor will be launched this year, the specific date is unknown.
