This matches the leaked roadmap I posted earlier
I was skeptic about should I go for Z2 or wait a little longer and have the Z3 instead.. but now, Z2 is perfect as it will be aligned with Z4 later in 2015
Man that MSM8994 ( Snappy 810 ) looks sexy !!
20nm
Octacore ( A57 + A53 in 4x4 configuration big.LITTLE )
Adreno 430
H.265 Decode
H.265 Encode ( the only one that can do this, the rest of Snappies can only decode )
Dual Channels LPDDR4-1600
The interesting note is that Qualcomm went back to stock ARM cores for the high-ends rather than using their own custom cores based on ARM designs but according to AnandTech, these might not be 100% clones to ARM designs
Although these are vanilla ARM designs, Qualcomm will be using its own optimized cells and libraries, which may translate into better power/performance compared to a truly off-the-shelf design.
So Qualcomm will put a little of it's sauce also to the mix...
This should make Z4 interesting... 4GB of RAM should be the minimum then in 2015... I hope internal memory will have two options... I guess Sony will already been moved to 32GB internal by then ( hello Sony Z3, Z2 is already getting some negative shouting regarding being a 16GB only high-end ), but a dual options 32GB and 64GB will be awesome... thought I think Sony will stick to the 32GB at the end...

Well, if it's 64GB internal, that would be an instant buy for me! My Z1 is definitely going to at least hold until 1H of 2015. Nothing much out there that interests me enough to upgrade at the moment. Not so sure 805 will either.

I feel they went with an ARM design to speed things up rather than add a year or 2 to development for their own designs.
MWC 2015 should be exciting.

Sony will use intel chips in the near future.

All of you are exceedingly hyperbolic.
First of all, where's the source? Can't just make a claim without any back up. Who says Sony will very using Intel chips in "the near future"? And what do describe as being the "near future"? 6 months? 1 year? 2 years? 5 years?
Oh, and what exactly is the problem with Sony using Intel chips? If Intel can make a 14nm mobile SoC, with better performance per watt than an equivalent Qualcomm SoC, then isn't that a good thing to use?

Really enthusiast for Sony move for Intel chips, I was eventually impressed by intel adopting high end PowerVR Rouge in latest SoC moorfield with silvermoon architecture. OEMs used to avoid Intel chips because of the lack of integrated LTE modem, However; this no longer the case .
