Qualcomm confirms that the snapdragon 855 was manufactured at 7nm

Qualcomm is expected to launch its high-end 7nm Snapdragon processor later this year. The processor, tentatively known as Snapdragon 855, will also introduce the long-awaited 5G technology, but with a trick. Qualcomm will combine its X24 modem (also manufactured in 7nm), but will integrate the 855 with the X50 modem, which is manufactured in 10nm and is capable of supporting 5G connectivity. Now, we have more details about this chip, directly from Qualcomm.

Qualcomm has officially shared some important details about its upcoming Snapdragon, which we'll refer to as Snapdragon 855 for the moment, as we don't know exactly what it's called. The company is announcing the processor along with the X50 modem, and has chosen to call the pair as a package, which is called; 'Fusion Platform'.

The company confirms that the Snapdragon 855 will be manufactured with a 7nm node. This makes it even more interesting, especially since it will be introduced to the A11 Bionic's successor in September, and Qualcomm will have to face it, with an Apple that already made great strides with the A11 SoC last year.

Snapdragon 855 will also help introduce 5G connectivity, after being implemented by Motorola's Z3, a gadget that runs on Qualcomm's X24 but uses a Moto Mod with X50 to connect to 5G networks. The 855 SoC is expected to offer a similar solution, albeit in a more compact form.

Qualcomm is having a lot of work, not only on the smartphone front, but also in the laptop field, where they are developing the Snapdragon 1000 SoC, which would be used only on laptops.
