LG reportedly prepping an octa-core 64-bit chipset to take on the Snapdragon 810, it's not a NUCLUN

LG's own NUCLUN chipset has powered just a few
devices up until, most notably the South Korea-
exclusive LG G3 Screen, but reportedly this was
enough to deem it an overheating failure , which
led to lowered sales of the aforementioned
device. This is probably one of the reasons why
we are quite unlikely to witness a NUCLUN-
powered smartphone released worldwide anytime
soon. This probably won't force LG cease the
development and production of its mobile SoCs.
What's more, new reports circulating in South
Korea's air claim that the make of the
noteworthy G3 and G Flex 2 is already prepping a
new piece of 64-bit silicon.
It is allegedly intended to be a Snapdragon 810
rival, similar to Samsung's most recent Exynos
offering, the 7420. Four Cortex-A72 and four
Cortex-A53 are believed to be in the processing
heart of this ARMv8-based chipset, all of which
are most likely churning gears in accordance with
the big.LITTLE architecture. The manufacturer of
this piece of hardware is expected to be TSMC,
which will make use of the 20nm technology.
There are only guesses about the GPU unit inside
this mysterious LG system-on-chip, but
speculations claim it will probably be a Mali one.
Nevertheless, the release date of this SoC has
been tipped to be sometime by the end of 2015,
which might be a little too late considering the
dynamics of the chipset market. Interestingly,
the rumor mill claims that LG has been forging on
yet another chipset, but it too got canceled due
to, once again, excessive overheating.
