Qualcomm enters the Quadcore race @ 2.5 Ghz

NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core chip is planned to run at 1.5Ghz and Texas Instruments will top that with each core ticking at 2.0Ghz. But hold tight, because the quad-core Snapdragon is supposed to run at the breathtaking 2.5Ghz!



Using the industry-first 28nm process, Qualcomm is working on a family of multi-core (single, dual, and quad) chipsets, codenamed Krait.
The new quad-core Snapdragon APQ8064 chip is going to use 75% less power than the first Snapdragon chipset. Not only that, but Qualcomm promises the future quad-core Snapdragon APQ8064 will be twelve times faster than any other Snapdragon chip.
The new Snapdragon beast will enable HD gaming, stereoscopic 3D, 1080p video capture, support for 10MP camera sensors and full playback over an HDMI port, thanks to the Adreno 320 quad-core GPU. That, on the other hand, will be up to fifteen times more powerful than the original Adreno.
