Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 is a quad core processor that comes with Adreno 420 GPU. This CPU was first spotted in GFXbench in an unknown windows phone and many are saying that it will be used in rumored Lumia 1820 phone from Nokia.
The processor will be faster than Snapdragon 801 in most situations and if you shoot high resolution photos, you will be glad to know that 805 is capable of doing processing faster than its predecessors. Also the Adreno 420 GPU is faster than 330 GPU and supports maximum resolution 2560×1440 pixels.
Right now Snapdragon 800 supports maximum screen resolution of 1920×1080 and 805 will allow cell phone manufactures to finally make 3k and 4k phones. Here are detailed specifications of Snapdragon 805 system on chip.
