Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Latest Feature Reveal Highlights Machine Learning Security Engine

Qualcomm's forthcoming Snapdragon 820 SoC (System on Chip) has been coined a "comeback" processor for the company ever since it was revealed the current generation Snapdragon 810 had thermal issues and as a result relatively low uptake in the market. With Samsung recently opting for its own octal-core Exynos 7420 processor in the new Samsung Galaxy S6 line and even their just refreshed and totally gorgeous (in my opinion) Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5, Qualcomm has missed critical volume in mainstream flagship devices, and not just with Samsung. Devices like the HTC One M9, Sony Xperia Z4 and the OnePlus 2 are either shipping or expected to ship with the 810 but all signs (and marketing efforts) are pointing to a quick transition to the company's next generation Snapdragon 820.
