Qualcomm is clearly bent on drumming up hype for its Snapdragon 820 chip by drip-feeding facts, but its latest revelation is a big one. The company has revealed that the Kryo CPU at the heart of the chip is up to twice as power-efficient as the Snapdragon 810, even though it’s up to two times faster. While that doesn’t necessarily translate to twice the battery life, it does promise significantly better performance without a hit to your phone’s longevity.
