Samsung lägger beslag på alla Snapdragon 835-chipp

Forbes rapporterar att Samsung lagt beslag på lejonparten av Qualcomms första omgång av det nya mobilchippet Snapdragon 835, något som gjort att flera av den koreanska elektronikjättens konkurrenter nu får förlita sig på det äldre chippet Snapdragon 821 istället.
Bland de tillverkare som tvingas basera sina mobila enheter på det äldre chippet nämns LG, vars nya flaggskeppsenhet G6 påstås få ett äldre chipp just av det skälet.
Enligt uppgifter till Forbes kommer ingen telefon på marknaden att släppas med Snapdragon 835 innan Samsung hunnit släppa sin Galaxy S8 i april.

 
Qualcomm Snapdragon på Wikipedia
Wikipedia (en)
Snapdragon is a suite of system on a chip (SoC) semiconductor products designed and marketed by Qualcomm for mobile devices. The Snapdragon central processing unit (CPU) uses the ARM RISC instruction set, and a single SoC may include multiple CPU cores, a graphics processing unit (GPU), a wireless modem, and other software and hardware to support a smartphone's global positioning system (GPS), camera, gesture recognition and video. Snapdragon semiconductors are embedded in devices of various systems, including Google Android mobile and Windows Phone devices. They are also used for netbooks, in cars, wearable devices and other devices. The first Snapdragon product to be made available to consumer device manufacturers was the QSD8250, which was released in November 2007. It included the first 1 GHz processor for mobile phones. Qualcomm introduced its "Krait" microprocessor architecture in the second generation of Snapdragon SoCs in 2011, allowing each processor core to adjust its speed based on the device's needs. At the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, Qualcomm introduced the first of the Snapdragon 800 series and renamed prior models as the 200, 400 and 600 series. Several new iterations have been introduced since, such as the Snapdragon 805, 810, 615 and 410. Qualcomm re-branded its modem products under the Snapdragon name in December 2014.
