Recently there were reports that the multinational semiconductor manufacturer Qualcomm claimed that a major smartphone manufacturer dropped the company's flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 810, which was originally meant to be incorporated into an upcoming product. Although the top mobile chipset manufacturers did not take any names, it was speculated it referred to the South Korean tech titan Samsung, which has reportedly used its own Exynos chipset instead of the American firm's latest product in its upcoming flagship handset Galaxy S6.

According to Christian Today, it is presumed that the reported overheating as well as GPU driver problems of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 might have prompted the South Korean firm to drop the chipset from the Samsung Galaxy S6.

Contrary to these reports, Qualcomm told Re/code that its latest chipset does not suffer from any issues whatsoever. The company has claimed that Snapdragon 810 has been "performing very well" in its present condition.

Qualcomm executive vice-president Cristiano Amon has been quoted as saying, "We don't see any problem with the 810 ... I think there is a lot of misinformation out there."

It is worth mentioning here that the Snapdragon 810 is the first high-end chipset from Qualcomm that features a processor compatible with 64-bit architecture, which allows smartphone manufacturers to provide a total amount of memory (RAM) exceeding 4 GB.

As far as the Samsung Galaxy S6 is concerned, expectations are that the upcoming flagship handset of the South Korean tech manufacturers will pack Samsung's own Exynos 7420 chipset. It is also being speculated that Samsung has decided not to incorporate the Qualcomm chipset into its Galaxy S6, as it wishes Qualcomm to have lesser control on the mobile chipset market across the globe.

Despite the fact that Samsung has dropped 8.8 percent of its market share up to 20 percent for the 2014 fourth quarter, the South Korean company continues to be the largest smartphone manufacturer globally, with Apple just behind it and having a market share of 19.8 percent.

Qualcomm has, in the mean time, announced that it plans to release its Snapdragon 820 chip in 2015. The upcoming chipset will feature a processor, developed on the Taipan architecture, instead of the inferior Krait architecture.
