Qualcomm announced their QSD8650A Snapdragon chipset for mobile devices. It comes in at an eye-popping 1.3Ghz while reducing power consumption by 30%. Umm, like, wow!? Other features include:
- 2d/3d graphic engine
- Multi-mode support for UMTS/CDMA 3G networks
- GPS
- Bluetooth 2.1
- Wi-Fi support
- MediaFLO
- Support for HD WXGA display
- 45nm process technology
- Draws less than 10 milliwatts of power in standby mode
What I would do to get my hands on a phone powered by this…Unfortunately, it probably won’t be for a while since the chip will sample in late 2009.
