Qualcomm has some fightin’ words for their competitors, specifically ARM. MobileTechWorld has stumbled upon a leaked slide from an internal Qualcomm presentation detailing the company’s next generation of mobile SoC hardware — the MSM8270, MSM8930, MSM8960, and APQ8064.
With up to 5x the performance of current generation Snapdragon hardware, the single-, dual-, and quad-core SoC coming in 2012 is going to be awesome. Not only will we be dealing with 2.5GHz smartphones, but Qualcomm’s new hardware will suck down 75% less energy in the process. The graphics portion powered by Adreno silicon is likely 22x and possibly 3xx material. Regardless, Qualcomm promises a fourfold increase in performance which will equal consoles in graphics ability.
Other goodies include Dolby 7.1 surround, embedded multi-mode LTE, 3G, WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth and FM connectivity, 3D playback, and up to 20-megapixel cameras. In closing, Qualcomm adds that their next-gen hardware will be up to 23% faster than ARM’s upcoming Cortex-A15 SoC. How’s that for fightin’ words?
