The Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset was just made official at MWC

will be used.
The star of the Snapdragon 820 chip, which debuts Qualcomm's Zeroth

Inside the chip Qualcomm's custom ARMv8 CPU core also makes a first
appearance. Dubbed Kryo, it sports 64-bit architecture, but at this

Qualcomm says it will start sampling the Snapdragon 820 in the second
half of 2015. This leaves us to anticipate the first devices rocking
the chip early 2016. Expect more information about the Snapdragon 820 as
it becomes available.
