Weibo user ICEUniverse said in new post that the SD 830 is past the development stage and is ready for manufacture using the 10-nanometer process by Samsung. The microblogging post from China was picked up by tech blog site G4Games.

ICEUniverse also revealed that SD 830 bears the codename msm8998 and will boast of Qualcomm's Kryo custom architecture. With the use of Kryo cores and the expected refinements to be applied by Qualcomm engineers, the SD 830 on mobile devices are certain to gain "improved performance and power consumption, WCCFTech said in a separate report.

On the GPU department, the successor to the SD 820 is said to jump from Adreno 530 with considerable boost in graphic rendering capabilities.

But what could prove as the game-changing component of SD 830 is the introduction of 10-core mobile processing to commercial use that likely will become the standard in Android mobile devices starting on 2017, G4Games said. Essentially, Android-powered smartphones and tablet will boast of desktop-class processing might with the SD 830 in full use.

And as the SD 830 is 64-bit, the Android devices it will fire up are expected to break the 4GB RAM barrier. Per ICEUniverse, the upcoming Qualcomm chip is designed to fully support up to 8GB of RAM provision, which hints that flagship devices to touch down next year will be mighty fast and stable if running on SD 830.

Qualcomm's use of Samsung's 10nm process technology also indicates that the South Korean tech giant is assured of access to SD 830. This could mean that a year after the SD 820-powered Galaxy S7 release date April this year, the follow up in early 2017 will mostly likely draw its might from Snapdragon 830.

The SD 830 is all set for mass release in the early months of 2017, basing on the Weibo post.
