Qualcomm has positioned itself as one of the best chip maker for mobile devices of the moment, or at least for those that are integrated into Android devices. This year it has launched the Snapdragon 820 which, among some of its best features, is its better graphics capabilities, which will allow access to better video games from the terminals that have it integrated.
While talking about the virtues and benefits of this chip in the various phones in which it is being found, Microsoft already I would be prepared to offer the support to its next edition for your Windows 10 Mobile devices. The company's hardware requirements page has added Qualcomm's MSM8998 chip, which has been rumored as the next Snapdragon 830 chip.
Microsoft's support page confirms the Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8998. A Chinese analyst stated a few months ago that the code number for the Snapdragon 830 is the same as MSM8998, which would also place us before a supposed support of up to 8 GB of RAM and that it would be manufactured in the 10nm architecture.
We mentioned as something important that while Microsoft's support page lists the Qualcomm MSM8998 chip, the company has not yet confirmed that it is really the new Snapdragon 830, about which we know little, and what to take as something that may be wrong due to some misprint.
For now, we have the chip Snapdragon 820 that is collecting very good results and that it has distanced itself from that Snapdragon 810 from last year that received bad reviews in its first review due to serious heating problems, which made some terminals, such as the HTC One M9, offer very bad results for the user.
As there is still a lot left for the Snapdragon 830, we will wait what kind of devices could includeas those possible Surface phones.
