Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is famous for smartphone's mobile platforms as it is designed to be fast, intelligent, smooth, and secure with amazing graphics. Snapdragon is a processor which is a suite of System on Chip(SoC) semiconductor products, particularly for mobile devices. These products are designed and marketed by Qualcomm Technologies Inc. Snapdragon's Central Processing Unit uses the ARM architecture which is a family of RISC architectures for computers.
A single SoC may be composed of multiple CPU cores like Graphics Processing Unit, snapdragon wireless modem, digital signal processor, image signal processor, and other software and hardware to support GPS, camera, audio, video, and etc of a smartphone. So, Qualcomm often refers to the snapdragon as a "Mobile Platform".
Snapdragon semiconductors are embedded in Android, Windows Phone, and Notebooks. The first snapdragon was released in December 2007 with a 1GHz processor for mobile phones. Qualcomm introduced the first snapdragon 800 series and renamed prior models as the 200, 400, and 600 series in 2013.
Qualcomm efforts are consistent to improve the performance of snapdragons. There are many versions getting released with a lot of improvements in thermal throttling, GPU clock speeds, memory latency, and memory bandwidth. Snapdragon's 800 series 820/821,835 and 845 performed substantially better. The 800 series 855, 865, and 865 plus also performed well and the latest snapdragon 888 released in 2021 has the highest benchmark score than any other series but produces more heat.
