Qualcomm sketched out details of Kyro, the custom ARM core in its next-generation Snapdragon SoC which got rave reviews from one veteran analyst.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 is something of a supercomputer in a chip with so many different processor types that the company has chosen to release information on it piecemeal. We’ve covered the Spectra image processor, the Hexagon DSP, the separately powered always-on DSP that listens to everything you say, and now the custom Kyro 64-bit CPU.
The Kryo ties everything together in the 820. Although many of the processors in it, such as the Hexagon and Spectra can have private communications that even the LPD can’t hear, generally speaking the CPU and its kernel control the communications, and inter-processor communications. Qualcomm calls this its Symphony System Manager (SSM).
