Why Samsung really wants to put a Snapdragon 820 in the Galaxy S7

It's nice when everyone gets along, right? That's got to be the reason that Samsung seems so hell-bent on getting the new Qualcomm chip to work.
Reports are emerging that Samsung is working hard to make sure the new Snapdragon 820 chipset doesn't have the same overheating problems as its predecessor, coming up with new ways of helping make sure it stays cool.
The first is simply software-based, working on ways to help lower the running temperature of the chip during intense work. If that doesn't work, it's going to get a bit more novel.
'Radiating heat pipes' sound awesome, but in truth they just help to get rid of the intense heat that's created when you're pushing your new smartphone in terms of connecting to the internet, playing all the games and watching all the movies while tweeting about your progress.Not all about you, mate
The reason for this effort is two-fold: having a great Qualcomm chipset means it can just plug in a key component into its new Galaxy S7, rather than having to create a custom chip and sell that in millions of phones, as it had to with the Galaxy S6 following reports that the Snapdragon 810 was getting too toasty in phones.
But it's reported that Samsung is partly behind the manufacture of these chips too, with Qualcomm handing the firm a contract to create part of the orders for the smartphone engine.
Qualcomm badly needs the flagship chip to perform well in next year's top-end smartphones to help eradicate the memory of brands going with lower-power variants to keep performance under control.
The upshot is: Samsung helping Qualcomm means better phones for all - especially the Galaxy S7. Good times.
