Details regarding the clock frequencies of the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset has been revealed. The S810 is powered by two clusters - 4 x ARM Cortex A57 and 4x ARM Cortex A53 - of processors stitched together and working in tandem (ARM big.LITTLE) model.

While the performance-packing Cortex A57 cores will be clocked close to 2 GHz, the energy-efficient Cortex A53 cores will have a lower 1.6 GHz clock frequency. The clock frequencies are a little disappointing considering that the Snapdragon 801 manages up to 2.5 GHz, and the new Snapdragon 805 has its cores clocked at 2.7 GHz.

However, we have to consider the fact that the upcoming Snapdragon 810 chipset is an octa-core part, as compared to current quad-core parts. Also, it is Qualcomm's first high-end 64-bit chipset, based on the ARMv8-A instruction set.

Snapdragon 810 chips will make use of a smaller 20nm process, as opposed to 28nm for the current S801/S805 crop. First devices powered by this chip are expected in 1H 2015.
