Snapdragon 700 Series, a completely new line of SoCs unveiled by Qualcomm at the end of February, aimed to offer high-end features such as custom DSPs and the Kryo architecture at a more affordable price, giving the cheapest devices specifications similar to those of a flagship. Today a new family member (not officially announced), the Snapdragon 720, appears.
Snapdragon 720 would be a new option from Qualcomm for mid-range handsets
The first chip in the series, the Snapdragon 710, was unveiled in May, and according to this leak, the Snapdragon 720 is the name of the next chip and will be present to bridge the gap between the Snapdragon 710 and the Snapdragon 730.
The source is a Chinese user from his Twitter account (MMDDDJ), which has tweeted the model name of the SDM720, pointing to a possible future announcement of the Snapdragon 720. As mentioned above, the technical details of the chip have not been revealed in this leak, but it is logical to think that it was placed with specifications between SD710 and SD730.
The Snapdragon 710 was manufactured using Samsung’s 10 nm LPE process and features a total of six Kryo 360 Silver cores operating at 1.70 GHz and two Kryo 360 Gold cores operating at 2.20 GHz. The chip also features an Adreno 616 GPU, Qualcomm’s X15 LTE chipset and support for AR and AI. The Snapdragon 720 could be manufactured with the same 10nm FinFET LPE architecture but could be shipped with higher clock speeds to provide a performance gain over the Snapdragon 710.
In addition, Snapdragon 720 can have an NPU, just like Snapdragon 730, while Snapdragon 710 relies on its GPU and digital signal processor for deep learning. However, it is also possible that the official name of the Snapdragon 730 may turn out to be a Snapdragon 720, but since it is merely speculation at this time, we want to take this information with a grain of salt for the time being.
