If you are a Snapdragon fan, it’s time to get excited. Qualcomm announced today that the next graphics processor for mobile CPU, the one and only Snapdragon 820, is going to be almost twice as fast as the one before.

Needless to say, your phone is going to be able to run games that are far more complex than the ones it is running now, but the real deal ist hat Snapdragon is looking forward to a more brighter future for its latest Snapdragon CPU alongside the Adreno 530 GPU. According to them, they have a specific interest in “next-generation uses of virtual reality, augmented reality computer vision.”

While this is great news to hear, it is also not much of a surprise given the quick advancements made in mobile VR solutions, which could be seen in the last year. Some specific examples would be the Google Cardboard or the Gear VR which belongs to Samsung.
