Yesterday was the day when Google introduced its new devices. This appointment did not expect much more than the two rumored Nexus and a new Chrome, but in the end was an unexpected guest, Google Pixel C unit that caught our eye by a variety of small details. This device is a convertible tablet laptop in the purest Surface style, directly aimed at users who choose productivity. The first thing that strikes us is that this new tablet is 100% Google unit without external partner. Not a Nexus, but as if it were, since Google continues to develop software, hardware while another department is responsible for the big G. Google Pixel C: Not a Nexus, but as if it were This department is none other than the team that until recently was engaged in the production of Pixel Chromebook Chrome OS computers with greater range than we can find. Could Google put their efforts in turning Android into an operating system to replace the Chrome OS? Chrome OS is an operating ...

Without a doubt, the market for mobile chips in 2016 is aimed quite interesting enough competitors to enter the market, which is beginning to crave boring. On the other hand, most of the data we know tells us that almost everyone is using the same type of architecture and production processes that are almost 14nm FinFET Samsung and TSMC 16nm (14nm Intel in addition to its own factories) 14nm is a fairly new technology, and it seems that will not be with us until the beginning of 2017, which is the date set for the jump to 10 nm (if there are no problems, they arise), so the market a few alternatives manufacturers We have to invest in high technology, in order to justify the superiority of their chips. In addition, for 2016 it seems that AMD also point to the war of mobile chips, the company that, despite its poor performance, was (and remains) is a pioneer in a number of very innovative technologies (the latter case, the memory NVM). Do you believe that, Qualcomm will ...

Perhaps the only manufacturer that resists leaks, surely one of the least successful enjoys. After a lot of attempts, Intel, does not seem to fit into the world of smartphones, Asus is the only major ally in this great battle. Earlier this year, Intel Atom met X3, X5 and X7, and after a long silence, we did not know any smartphone that uses them. As for tablets, luck smiles more than Intel, because with the advent of Windows 10, there is a virtual monopoly of tablets, which have a system of Microsoft. In the absence of leaks, we believe that in 2016 Intel's commitment is based almost exclusively on SoCs for tablets, giving a situation similar to that suffered Nvidia. MediaTek Helio x30 Last but not least, we have to MediaTek, also known as MTC. Chinese chip company has succeeded in recent years to ensure that the chip noted the importance for / price, but also highlighted the support that leaves much to be desired. 2015 was certainly a turning point for ...

Another South Korean giant LG have. From its cooperation with Google's Nexus 4 and 5, the company has become one of the favorite because of its high price / performance ratio. For some time, we know that the LG intends to establish its own production of SoCs, with the aim of having a greater ability to optimize the device, while reducing costs and offer better quality at lower prices. All that we know that LG SoC be manufactured in 16nm process by TSMC. As for architecture, will have 4 core 2.1 GHz Cortex A 72 and 4 cores at 1.5GHz A53, being very similar to the Kirin 950, although the reduction in the rate is slightly lower, throwing Geekbench scores of 5392 points in 1786 mononuclear and polynuclear. Nvidia Project Denver 2 Another contention is manufacturers Nvidia. The largest manufacturer of graphics cards Peace curious strategy for its chips, as each hardware revision, usually improves the CPU or GPU, but not both. From Tegra K1 combines the N...

Huawei is one of the longest of China's giants wanting to enter the market of mobile chips. Given the amount of smartphones sold the company control in the production of chips is an advantage that only the transfer to a performance or increasing profits. To this day, their SoC Kirin has not received moderate success, but is growing. With Kirin 950, a processor that is likely to see in the IFA 2015, Huawei aims to achieve a long-awaited high-end chip that knows its manufacturing process, but it is equally promising. Kirin reaches 950 in Geekbench 1909 and 6096 points in single-core These few points made 4-core 2.4 GHz Cortex A72, accompanied by four other Cortex A53 cores and graphics MaliT880, GPU performance by almost half in Mali T760 40% less consumption.

The next opponent is none other than, Qualcomm, the former king of mobile chips that after 2014 without giving virtually no innovation came in 2015 with the new chip, which fell short of expectations due to their high temperatures. Qualcomm's success gave him an advantage that should do well if they want to remain leaders. With Snapdragon 820 they seem to have done their homework better, as we return to the custom architectures, which gave good results in the past. Kyro based on the architecture of the A72, but promises to keep, one of the biggest drawbacks Snapdragon 810 best temperatures. In addition, Adreno 530 GPU offers a huge leap from the current Adreno 430 top of the range. At the moment, we do not know if will be manufactured on 20 nm process and will be part of the client base rates in the process of Samsung 14nm FinFET. Leaks Geekbench suggest that the architecture offers a single-core Qualcomm 1732 and 4970 points in multi-core.

The System on a Chip are a type of chip that incorporates most of the electronics that need a smartphone. In it, we find a large number of processors, which can highlight the CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and the modem. These chips are mainly based on ARM architecture, which is licensed to several manufacturers, that reference projects to launch their chips or create your own variations. In recent years, we have seen everything. Qualcomm known to defeat Texas Instruments, Samsung ambitious without increasing in popularity ever more dedicated for the manufacture of MediaTek chips or polishing passed from generation to generation errors. 2016 chips Throughout this long history, it highlights a small portion of time that Qualcomm has been a true champion, remaining dominant in the final, with its Krait architecture. Since the departure of 800 Snapdragon do a couple of years, the company has found some bumps, which has given numerous opportunitie...
