Qualcomm’s 1-GHz Snapdragon chipset already powers a number of groundbreaking devices, including the Google Nexus One, HTC Evo 4G, and the upcoming Dell Streak. At Computex this week, the chipmaker announced it has begun sampling a 1.2-GHz dual core version of the popular processor so vendors can start developing smart phones and other connected devices that take advantage of the added power.
Carrying the model numbers s MSM8260 (for HSPA+ devices), MSM 8660 (for CDMA devices), and QSD8670, the new chipsets will be capable of handling 1080p video, powering screens with up to 1280 x 800 resolutions, and providing stronger 3D graphics than earlier models. The new dual-core Snapdragons are actually considered third-generation technology. The company has already been sampling a 1.3-GHz, 45-nanometer version of Snapdragon for a while now so devices based on that second-gen design are likely to hit the market before their dual-core siblings.
