Qualcomm testing two wearable chipsets

Taking the fight to Samsung

Details about the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 5100 and 5100 Plus chipset have leaked and it appears that the chipmaker wants to take the “wearables” crown from Samsung.

Samsung latest 5nm node process-based Exynos W920 turned out to be a great smartwatch chipset with the same level of performance at better battery life than the previous gen.

WinFuture claims that Qualcomm is fighting back internally testing two chipsets with the model number 'SW5100'. These will likely be called Snapdragon Wear 5100 and Wear 5100 Plus.

Both the variants have four ARM Cortex-A53 cores at 1.7GHz and Adreno 702 GPU clocked at 700 MHz. It will also feature LPDDR4X RAM, eMMC 5.1 memory, LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 5.2, and connectivity to 5GHz Wi-Fi networks (802.11c). There’s no support for 5G, though.

While the clock speeds are slower than the previous-gen Snapdragon 4100 platform the rest of the specs are rather good. The Snapdragon Wear 5100 and Wear 5100 Plus will be manufactured on the 4nm node process. For context, the previous-gen Wear 4100 was based on the 12nm node process (the lesser, the better). Shift to a smaller node process should (theoretically) deliver better performance and better battery life.
