Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (8998) vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 710

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (8998)

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform (MSM8998) is a high-end SoC for smartphones (mostly Android based) that was released early 2017. Its one of the first processors that is manufactured in 10 nm (LPE FinFET at Samsung). The SD835 is the successor to the Snapdragon 821.

It integrates 4x Kryo 280 at 2.45 GHz (max) for performance and 4x Kryo 280 at 1.9 GHz (max) for efficiency. Furthermore offers an X16 LTE modem, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ad WiFi, a dual-channel 32-Bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller, an UFS 2.1 controller, Hexagon 682 DSP, Spectra 180 Image Seonsor Prozessor, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, GLONASS, Baeidou, Galileo Satellite Support.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 710

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 (SD710) is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. Announced in early 2018, the SD710 is the first of the 700 series and positions itself between the 600 series (e.g. Snapdragon 660) and 800 series (e.g. Snapdragon 845). It integrates 8 Kryo 360 cores devided in two big cores (most likely based on Cortex-A75 at up to 2.2 GHz) and six small cores (most likely based on Coretx-A55 at up to 1.7 GHz). The memory controller supports LPDDR4X and the integrated graphics card is called Adreno 616. The X15 LTE modem supports 4x4 MIMO with up to 800 MBbit/s download and 150 MBit/s upload.

Compared to the older Snapdragon 660, Qualcomm advertises the CPU clusters to be up to 20% faster and the GPU up to 35 %.

The Snapdragon 710 is manufactured in the modern 10 nm process at Samsung (10LPP).
