32

Qualcomm officially announced that it will begin mass-producing its first octa-core mobile SoC - the Snapdragon 615. Additionally, the 64-bit 8-core Snapdragon 810 and 6-core Snapdragon 808 will be introduced before this year's end. The Snapdragon 615 will be a mid-range processor, while the Snapdragon 808 and 810 are made for high-end smartphones.
There is little clue towards what the first eight-core, 64-bit smartphone on the market will be. Currently, we're awaiting the first Snapdragon 805-powered consumer device to be introduced sometime in the summer. Speculations point towards the upcoming LG G3 or the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime.
Qualcomm's newest silicon will be made by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) using an advanced 20nm process. According to industry sources, the adoption of 8-core chips will not raise smartphone prices.
