Qualcomm sharpening their weapons ahead of CES, just four days before the start of the important annual event in the industry. The chipmaker has made ​​available to Engadget its powerful Snapdragon SoC 805 , capable of performance desktop with quad-core 'Krait' latest generation of GPU Adreno 420 associated. This 'Ultra HD processor' makes it possible to easily take advantage of 4K content, both recording and playback, a System-on-Chip designed with this specific purpose and therefore available in the future of Smart TV as well as on mobile devices .

        
The American company has shown the potential of this platform showing a tablet prototype based on Snapdragon 805, an Android device with display 2,560 x 1,440 pixels , dual camera with sensors and 3D surround speaker.The multimedia capabilities of this SoC are awesome, let's see, for example dealing with applications for photo editing , for example by exploiting these new photographic sensors 'dual':

The 3D is not really big news given the failure generated in recent years, but thanks to the Snapdragon 805 arrives mode 3D ​​Multi-View , the potential of this novel capable of Adreno 420 graphics performance 40% higher than the Adreno 330 adopted on Snapdragon 800.

The processing graphics are as mentioned the strong point, the direct comparison between Adreno 420 and 330 in this precesso gives an idea of the improvements in this next-generation platform and most manageable amount of detail at the same time:

The last shows the potential in the direct decoding and playback of 4K HEVC ( high efficiency video coding ), with the Snapdragon 805 definitely will enter the era of 4K (admitted to be more prevalent among the SoC devices such as the current top range 800): not only video, but the audio will be more resolute thanks to Dolby Audio with vertical surround. Difficult to appreciate these latest features in video, live will be a different story.

Unfortunately, the 2014 CES will not be the showcase for the first devices with this hardware , SoC is not in fact available on the market only in late 2014.
