Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 805. It will come complete with 4K powers and will be making its way to devices starting next year.

It has a quad-core Krait 450 CPU and it pushes each of these cores up to 2.5 GHz, faster than any other Qualcomm chip. The 805 has a new GPU, the Adreno 420, which Qualcomm claims is 40 percent faster than the 800.

It should offer enough power to handle system level 4K resolutions, as well as 4K video capture and playback. [Qualcomm via CNET]
