Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 Platform is based on new ultra-low power system architecture, offers extended battery life

Qualcomm just introduced Snapdragon Wear 3100, the company's next generation smartwatch platform and the successor of Snapdragon Wear 2100 that was introduced back in 2016. This based on a new ultra-low power hierarchical system architecture. In this hierarchical architecture, the high-performance quad core A7 processor, the highly efficient integrated DSP, and the new ultra-low power co-processor work in conjunction with each other to fundamentally look to re-imagine smartwatch experiences – enhance existing ones, bring-in new ones – while supporting extended battery life. It is available in both connected (4G LTE) and tethered (Bluetooth + Wi-Fi) versions. The new co-processor, the Qualcomm QCC1110 that has been designed from the ground up is incredibly small at ~21mm2, is optimized for ultra-low power operation, and acts as a powerful companion to the main processor, re-defining audio, display, and sensor experiences for next generation smartwatches. The co-processor also integrates a deep learning engine for custom workloads, such as keyword detection, and is extensible over time. Rich Interactive Mode: In collaboration with Wear OS by Google it utilizes and enhances the capabilities of the platform and support increasingly rich, fluid experiences designed for the wrist.
