Qualcomm Snapdragon 800: more power in the new Kindle Fire tablets HDX - Italian Notebook

Into The range of tablet Amazon Kindle Fire was born in late 2011 and was a worldwide success thanks to the price at the time was surprisingly low. The second generation has expanded the range of Kindle Fire tablets are going to cover a wider range of sizes and types of use. The goal of Amazon with the third and most recent wave of Kindle Fire HDX is represented by the performance as well, especially in multimedia.

Into a surprise, in fact, Amazon has chosen for its new Kindle Fire tablet HDX ARM-based processors category Cortex A15 of the most coveted time, which form the heart of the most prestigious smartphones and tablets, such as Samsung Galaxy S4, Note 3, Sony Xperia Ultra Z and Z1, LG G2, Asus Padfone and Infinity Acer Liquid S2.

We refer to Into SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 at the top chipmaker’s offer of San Diego and the current mobile technology, with four core Krait 400 to 2 , 2GHz and a GPU Adreno 330 which we have repeatedly shown the exceptional performance with 3D games. There is a huge leap forward compared to the computing performance and multimedia processors permitted by TI OMAP dual-core processor with a frequency between 1GHz and 1.5GHz mounted on the previous Kindle Fire

Into From their announcement at CES in January 2013 until today, the quality, the benefits and performance of Snapdragon SoC 800 have been documented in countless tests and benchmarks. Even before the introduction of the Kindle Fire HDX, these chips were shown several times on the tablet Development Qualcomm MDP, so it is not surprising that also on the wider formats are able to portray leadership capabilities .

Into Actually tablet like the Kindle Fire HDX 7 and 8.9 , thanks to wider screens with resolution respectively 1920 x 1200 pixel and 3K 2560 x 1600 pixel , allow better use of the potential intrattenitive Snapdragon processor 800 which as we know are capable of reaching the definition 4K. The VPU integrated into the SoC Qualcomm allows the decoding and playback of 4K video for multimedia experience that goes beyond the High Definition and which is enhanced by the perfect color rendering (100% sRGB spectrum) of the Fire HDX screen. Who is not satisfied with the Full HD display and the new Kindle Fire Ultra HD HDX can still connect the tablet to a TV or external monitor via HDMI or wirelessly via Miracast.

Into Aware that the audio is a critical component of a movie or a game, Qualcomm has integrated into its Snapdragon SoC 800 a DSP engine Hexagon QDSP6V5A 600MHz that allows you to have a virtual multichannel surround cinematic using the algorithms DTS and Dolby Digital .

Into Amazon declares that the Snapdragon SoC 800 determine an increase of 300% of computational performance and 400% in the graphic 3D than the old TI OMAP Kindle Fire (we reserve the right to check the data because it seems even reductive), although it must be remembered that the asynchronous multiprocessor architecture of the core Krait 400 is also the most efficient of the entire mobile computing landscape and therefore allows for consumption and temperatures always below control. The Amazon Kindle Fire tablet HDX are a perfect example because they are credited with a maximum range of 12 hours in mixed use , two hours more than the Fire HD.

Kindle Fire HDX Into The range includes both WiFi-only versions as 4G LTE and mobile broadband connectivity is undoubtedly one of the strengths of the Qualcomm platform that enables you to have an integrated modem with a series of advantages both in terms of simplicity on the side design and development, both in terms of efficiency and reliability user side. This is why many manufacturers are targeted on the Snapdragon platform for 3G versions and / or of their 4G smartphones and tablets.

Into WiFi-only models also take advantage of an integrated module Qualcomm with support for 802.11a/b/g/n standards, able to operate on dual frequency (dual-band) , and also have of dual antenna MIMO technology to improve throughput, flow rate and the stability of the WiFi signal.

Into One is really amazed by the amount of solutions and advanced features that Qualcomm was able to tuck into every microscopic Snapdragon SoC 800 but no less surprising is the price at which they are proposed HDX Kindle Fire tablets at launch. Let’s talk about $ 229 for the fire HDX 7 “and $ 379 for the Fire HDX 8.9″, where in the past the device processor-based Qualcomm top of the range exceeded easily $ 600.

Into If you combine this with the greater attention given by Qualcomm to the tablet and witnessed the introduction of a reference design program specifically for this market sector, it is easy to predict that the new Amazon Kindle Fire HDX can be only the first of a long series of tablet Snapdragon 800 for the medium-high market .
