    Cortex A35 fabbed in 7nm would be the best, and it would mean that Qualcomm is taking the matter seriously.

    Anything else would be a disappointment!

        New SoC should be at 10nm fab, if not 7nm.
        Either this or either Qualcomm isn't interested in smartwatches.

        Watches aren't smartphones , We aren't supposed to charge them daily and with their prices equaling midranges , we have any right to demand decent offer.

          O S, 09 May 2018Hope it is built on ARM Cortex A35 architecture.I think you wrote a line of right words. A35 is the best choice for Wearable device, especially watch.

              Lets hope that the new chip would be a 7nm one - so it would be top-notch!
              If it would be mediocre, WearOS would fail, and only Apple watches would continue to exist.

              This fall is when TSMC would release its first 7nm product - Apple's A12 the would run the next iPhone.

                  I would also expand the internal memory to 8. To directly compete with apple watch.

                      Won't the time go to fast on these watches if they use a faster processor? :o

                        He thinks Qualcomm is gonna upgrade a 4xCortex A7 @1Ghz with a failured Hexacore design that consumes much much much more energy in a freaking watch.

                        They are gonna put 4xA55 at best. Although a dual core is more than enought IMO.

                          Geric.770, 09 May 2018Oooh Snapdragon 808 inside.... Maybe other numbering series.are you drunk?! men, nobody here talk about SD808, its a old old SoC, i still running it on my LG V10 rock solid.

                          Wear dont use the same SoC as smartphones. Get a brain...

                              Oooh
