According to latest rumors, Qualcomm might use 10nm manufacturing process for its next-generation Snapdragon SoC.

While we are still waiting for the official launch of the Snapdragon 820 SoC, which will be based on 14nm manufacturing process, it appears that Qualcomm is already working on its next-generation flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 830, which could use even smaller manufacturing process.

In order to improve both the power efficiency as well as prevent overheating, which was a big issue with Snapdragon 810, Qualcomm will have to move to a smaller manufacturing process and according to rumors, the next-generation SoC, most likely called the Snapdragon 830, will be based on a 10nm manufacturing process.

As Qualcomm will not use ARM-design for Snapdragon 830, it is possible that we will see an improve Kryo CPU cores as well as a new GPU. We will have a chance to check out the Kryo CPU core design as soon as Qualcomm officially launches Snapdragon 820 SoC and we see some of the first devices.

Currently, rumor states that the next-gen flagship SoC from Qualcomm will be manufactured by Samsung, but we won't have a confirmation before next year.
