SoftBank Accident | 'Leaked' | Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Details: Integrated X50 Baseband

On March 9th, a foreign media group interviewed the Japanese company Softbank in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 released on February 7 this year. It was unexpectedly found that part of the financial information appeared on the Qualcomm Xiaolong 855 platform. That is, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 will integrate the X50 baseband (28nm process, the maximum download rate of 5Gbps), which means that Xiaolong 855 platform will be the first to join the 5G support.

Prior to Qualcomm released data show that the X50 baseband can support 3.5GHz/4.5GHz IF (Sub 6GHz, China will use) and 28GHz/38GHz high frequency (millimeter wave), is currently the main chip in the 5G experiment.

It is understood that the Qualcomm 855 processor is called 'Snapdragon 855 Fusion' and similar to the Apple A10 Fusion, which implies strong performance. At the same time, some analysts pointed out that this may imply that the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor will be used in mobile phones, notebooks, etc. More types of mobile terminals are being used.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 is expected to be released by the end of this year. The first terminals equipped with 855 will be available in 2019.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 uses a 7nm manufacturing process. Considering that Softbank is the parent company of ARM, and Snapdragon processors have a large number of IP licenses from ARM, outsiders believe that the information released by Softbank is very authentic.
