Qualcomm Teases Next-Generation Snapdragon Wearable Chip

Qualcomm has released a fresh teaser for the upcoming generation of wearable SoCs via their Snapdragon Twitter account. The post appears to be teasing the release of the hotly anticipated Wear 5100 platform.

The Wear 5100 platform is rumoured to be built on the 6nm process and is expected to bring significant gains in terms of performance and battery life. In contrast, the most recent Snapdragon Wear 4100+ is built on the 12nm process and features a new co-processor to assist with additional background duties, such as sensor input and sound.
