Its max clock speed is listed as 2.8 GHz, and the SoC is built on a smaller 20nm manufacturing process.

The Snapdragon 810 also features the new Adreno 430 GPU, clocked at 650 MHz. There is support for LPDDR4 RAM, with a bus-width of 64-bits (dual-channel) resulting in a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s (at 1600 MHz). Snapdragon 810 also integrates an LTE Cat. 6/7 class model into the SoC.
