Qualcomm ‘internal testing next-gen wearables chipsets’

The US wireless tech provider Qualcomm is reportedly testing two new chipsets for wearables.

According to the technology news site Fudzilla, the chipmkaer is currently in the process of internal tests on the Snapdragon Wear 5100 and 5100 chipsets.

Both the variants have four ARM Cortex-A53 cores at 1.7GHz and Adreno 702 GPU clocked at 700 MHz and will also feature LPDDR4X RAM, eMMC 5.1 memory, LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 5.2, and connectivity to 5GHz Wi-Fi networks (802.11c).

It was reported that neither of the chipsets provide 5G support, however. While the leaked specifications for the new chipsets show slower clock speeds than earlier Snapdragon wearables platforms, a lower node process of 4nm should lead to better performance and better battery life.

The Plus version of the chipset will reportedly have a separate QCC510 co-processor for low-power mode, which should help in taking away some tasks from the main processor.

Qualcomm has yet to reveal any details itself about the internal testing or any of the specifications of the Snapdragon Wear 5100 platform.
