Oh yeah baby, Qualcomm’s eventually shipping the initial dual-core Snapdragons. To whom, is the large question. Its third-generation Mobile Station Modem MSM8260 and MSM8660 Snapdragon chipsets for high-end smartphones — originally voiced in February 2009 — have been right away sampling as well as able of using during up to 1.2GHz. The MSM8260 supports HSPA+, whilst a MSM8660 brings await for multi-mode HSPA+ and 1xEV-DO Rev. B. Both integrate GPS, the GPU with 2D / 3D increase in speed engines for Open GL ES 2.0 as well as Open VG 1.1, 1080p video encoding as well as decoding, the dedicated low-power audio engine, and support for 24-bit WXGA 1,280 x 800 pixel displays. Anybody during Computex care to step brazen with the reference pattern?

Update: We just spoke with association member here during a uncover, as well as try as we might, you couldn’t remonstrate anybody at a company to uncover off the dual-core reference pattern. We were flat-out told which the usually people at Computex removing a glance at a brand-new silicon were impending business, yet we did conduct to pry out the couple of engaging sum about the chip itself and the destiny of a line. For one, these brand-new chips have two application cores as well as the singular modem core, since existent chips have a singular application core alongside the single modem core. We were additionally told in no capricious conditions which an even quicker chronicle of a Snapdragon would be launched prior to the year’s finish, as well as as you’d expected presupposition, it’ll be aimed during “larger shade” devices — you know, like slates as well as inscription PCs.

Third-generation Snapdragon Solutions Feature Two Application Processor Cores Running up to 1.2 GHz to Enable Advanced Smartphones

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a heading developer and dignitary of wireless technologies, products and services, currently voiced a Company has sampled the initial dual-CPU Snapdragon™ chipsets. The Mobile Station Modem™ (MSM™) MSM8260™ and MSM8660™ solutions confederate two of a Company’s extended cores running during up to 1.2GHz. Targeted at enabling high-end smartphones, a MSM8×60 solutions have been third-generation chipsets from a Company’s expanded Snapdragon platform, that has been powering smartphones, tablets as well as smartbook inclination in markets around a world.

“Qualcomm’s first-generation Snapdragon chipsets set the brand-new standard for modernized smartphones as well as smartbook inclination, as well as the second-generation solutions are already shipping in volume,” said Steve Mollenkopf, executive clamp boss of Qualcomm as well as boss of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. “We have been really vehement by the creation our customers have been already display as they begin conceptualizing products formed upon our dual-core MSM8260 as well as MSM8660 chipsets.”

The MSM8260 for HSPA+ as well as MSM8660 for multi-mode HSPA+/CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO Rev. B underline dual extended CPU cores using at up to 1.2GHz for tall levels of Web application as well as multimedia opening, together with a absolute GPU with 3D/2D increase in speed engines for Open GLES 2.0 as well as Open VG 1.1 accelration, 1080p video encode/decode, dedicated low energy audio engine, integrated low power GPS, as well as support for 24-bit WXGA 1280 x 800 fortitude displays.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon family of chipset solutions includes:

* First-generation products: QSD8×50™ with 1GHz extended core
* Second-generation products: MSM8×55™ as well as QSD8×50A™ with 1GHz extended core, together with multimedia optimizations as well as 1.3GHz extended core, respectively
* Third-generation products: MSM8260, MSM8660 as well as QSD8672 with dual-CPU design featuring enhanced cores using during up to 1.2GHz as well as 1.5GHz, respectively
