By the time Qualcomm's 1.5GHz QSD8672 Snapdragon finally makes it to
market, it might be obsolete -- the company just announced that the
new 28nm dual-core MSM8960 system-on-a-chip will have five times the
performance and consume 75 percent less power than the original
Snapdragon when it arrives in 2011. It's got the usual WiFi, GPS,
Bluetooth and FM radio modules but also a multi-mode LTE / 3G modem
too, and reportedly four times the graphical muscle on board. Speaking
of graphics, Qualcomm seperately took the time to detail a new GPU:
the Qualcomm Adreno 300 series, which will allegedly offer the gaming
performance of an Xbox 360 or PS3. We'd say "We'll believe it when we
see it," but that would imply doubt -- the reality is that we just
want to feast our eyes on mobile gaming bliss as soon as humanly
possible.
