So, Today's Post is about two new babies in the house of Qualcomm. Yes you guessed it right !!.I will be discussing about Qualcomm Snapdragon's 630 and 660.These two are new mobile platforms for the smartphone markets.These two processors are aimed at bringing advanced features to mid-range smartphones.So,let's discuss more about each in detail.

Snapdragon 660

When we talk about Snapdragon 660, It is the successor Qualcomm's existing 653 processor.There are amount of changes seen in the chipsets of both the processors.The one is move from 28nm process down to 14nm node which is very much efficient. The second difference is about CPU cores.

When we talk in detail about both the processors we get the following differences :

1. CPU

Snapdragon 660 : 4x Kryo 260 at 2.2GHz 4x Kryo 260 at the speed of  1.8GHz
Snapdragon 653 : 4x Cortex-A72 @ 1.95GHz 4x Cortex-A53 at the speed of 1.44GHz

2. GPU

Snapdragon 660 : Adreno 512 (Vulkan API)
Snapdragon 653 : Adreno 510

3. Co-processors

Snapdragon 660 : Hexagon 642 + HVX, All-Ways Aware, Spectra 160
Snapdragon 653 : Hexagon, All-Ways Aware, 2x ISP

4. LTE

Snapdragon 660 : X12 LTE , 600Mbps down,150 Mbps up, 3x20MHz CA, up to 256-QAM
Snapdragon 653 : X9 LTE , 300Mbps down, 150Mbps up, 2x20MHz CA, up to 64-QAM

5. Bluetooth

Snapdragon 653 : 28nm

↠ Qualcomm 660 has sort of extra features

• X12 LTE modem 
• Quick Charge 4 compliance 
• Bluetooth 5 
• USB Type-C with 3.1 speed compatibility 
• An improved Spectra 160 ISP with EIS 3.0 
• 2×2 WiFi, and the company’s Hexagon 642 DSP unit with All-Ways Aware technology and HVX. 

All this combines and give the consumers improved support for dual camera, hardware and enhanced image processing capabilities such as optical zoom and Clear Sight sensor arrangements, eye tracking, and depth mapping.

Battery life has also received some extra attention, with Qualcomm suggesting that the 660 users can use extra 2 hours of battery life when compared to the 653.

Snapdragon 630

Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 is the successor of snapdragon 625 processor.It is not as rich as snapdragon 660 but it offers many enhanced features than snapdragon 625.The chip here is also built on a 14nm process and pin is compatible with modem.

The Snapdragon 630 have the same octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 configuration. Here the speed is 2.2 GHZ clock speed which is 10% boost to performance over 625.

The main difference between Snapdragon 630 and Snapdragon 625 is shown below
