Targeted at high end mobile devices, Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 800 and 600 processors are said to offer up to 40% better performance compared to the previous generation Snapdragon S4 Pro, as well as richer graphics and ultra low power performance.
Unveiled at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) today, Qualcomm says the new devices offer system wide architectural improvements, key component upgrades and expanded connectivity options.
They features a new Krait 300 quad core cpu with speeds up to 1.9GHz, a new speed enhanced Adreno 320 gpu and support for LPDDR3 memory.
"With the overwhelming success of our previous Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms, our mobile processors have emerged as the platform of choice for high end mobile devices," said Steve Mollenkopf, president and ceo of Qualcomm.
"With more than 50 design wins already secured with the first products of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 and 800 processors, we are advancing our vision and setting the standard for excellence in mobile computing."
Both devices are sampling now. Qualcomm anticipates the Snapdragon 600 processors to be available in Q2 2013, while the Snapdragon 800 devices are expected to be available in commercial devices by mid year 2013.
