Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 810

16.09.2014

Qualcomm at the Uplinq conference in San Francisco (California, USA) showed in action a sample of the powerful Snapdragon 810 processor designed for mobile devices.

The Snapdragon 810 chip was officially introduced in early April, but there are no commercial devices based on it yet. Recall the characteristics of the product: four powerful 64-bit ARM Cortex-A57 cores and four energy-efficient Cortex-A53 cores, an Adreno 430 graphics accelerator with support for 4K resolutions and a Qualcomm Cat 6 LTE Advanced modem that provides data transfer speeds up to 300 Mbps.

The demonstration of the Snapdragon 810 showed the chip's ability to process high-quality graphics in real time. As an example, a three-dimensional model of a sports car was chosen, on which various materials and colors were superimposed in a computer-aided design program. The chip coped with the processing of reflections and textures when the model was rotated without any problems. By the way, rendering was carried out on a tablet running the Android operating system.

It is noted that Qualcomm has already received samples of the Snapdragon 810. Commercial devices on this platform can be expected in the first half of 2015.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Fuel cells will become cheaper 24.05.2013

Scientists from Western University have found a way to drastically reduce the price of fuel cells using the Canadian CLS synchrotron. This can open the way to mass production of a very promising source of energy that will be useful in all modes of transport, in everyday life and in production.

The essence of the new technique is to "break down" the platinum catalyst into nanoparticles and even individual atoms that can accelerate chemical reactions.

Platinum, which is very expensive and often used as a catalyst, is often wasted because only the surface atoms work, and the lower layers of the metal do not have contact with the external environment and therefore "idle". It turns out that to manufacture a fuel cell, you need to buy platinum and pay for 100% of the expensive material, but only 10-20% will actually work. Basically, this explains the high cost of fuel cells that could replace the antediluvian gasoline engines in our cars.

The new technology solves the problem of overspending platinum. A new method of atomic layer deposition (ALD) allows you to deposit exactly as much catalyst as you need - at least one atom for use in nanomachines. This drastically reduces the price of the fuel cell without compromising its performance, which, by the way, is already high enough for commercial use.

It was possible to develop a new technology for the deposition of atomic layers using the synchrotron radiation of the CLS facility and an electron microscope with ultrahigh resolution. Thanks to this, scientists were able to trace the chemical properties of platinum and find the best way to "disassemble" platinum into the smallest possible parts that can support a catalytic reaction.

Ballard Power Systems, one of the largest manufacturers of fuel cells, has already become interested in the new technology. It is possible that their investment will make it possible to create the first cheap sample of a fuel cell, which will become a new page in the history of energy.
