Qualcomm has now revealed all the key details of its latest high-end chipset, the Snapdragon 865 that it announced two days back. Along with that, the chipmaker also shared the development timeline, which is quite interesting.
Since Qualcomm upgrades its chipsets every year, you might be inclined to think that it takes one year to make a chipset. That’s certainly not the case with the Snapdragon 865, which took three years to develop. The company started working on the IP back in Q4 2016 and concentrated its efforts on dual cameras, 90Hz display, facial recognition payments and blockchain for a year.
