No surprise: Qualcomm calls SD810 heat rumors “rubbish”

 

After months of somewhat keeping silent, while letting its partnersdo the talking, Qualcomm is finally speaking out on the issues that have plagued what would have been its star chip for 2015, the Snapdragon 810. Naturally, it’s calling the rumors of the chip overheating as hogwash and based on incomplete data. Of course, it’s pointing the finger at “someone” who has been spreading this rumor to its advantage, without specifically mentioning the one company that stands to profit from the Snapdragon 810’s failure:Samsung.

Of course, Qualcomm won’t speak out against Samsung, at least not directly. Despite being shoved out of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, the two still have a working relationship with respect to Samsung’s other devices. Qualcomm admits that the relationship is like a pendulum, continuously swinging between Qualcomm’s Snapdragons and Samsung’s own Exynos. As bad luck would have it, this time the pendulum moved away from Qualcomm.
