1.3 Ghz Snapdragon- 30% Stronger, 30% less power

[BigDiesel07]

Now here is a qualcomm chipset we would all love to have... It is clocked as an astounding 1.3 Ghz (a Touch Pro is clocked at a mere 528 mhz.. More than 50% faster!) and is said to consume 30% less power while being 30% stronger than the current 1 Ghz Snapdragon..

This chipset can do the following (quite a great list)

The new chipset supports multi-mode UMTS and CDMA 3G connectivity in the same 15 x 15-mm package as well as featuring enhanced 2D acceleration and 3D graphics core, integrated GPS, high-def video recording and playback, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, and support for WXGA (1280x800 pixels) displays pumping out your choice of MediaFLO, DVBH, or ISDB-T digital mobile television.

Sometime in 2010 is what the article said...

And how long before anybody buys the Qualcomm Drivers for it?

2025?

Until we get some devices in hand with it we can't make direct speed comparisons between the TP and that new chip. Increased clock speeds don't always mean a 1:1 increase in performance.

With that said it looks interesting.

Very true... I just know the clock speed is 50% more!

1.3GHz is 246% faster clocked than 528MHz... 50% faster than 528MHz would only be 792MHz.

Thank you!! You beat me to it.

lol.. I was guesstimating on the low end

Wouldn't it actually be ~146%? 246% would mean there is a ~1300Mhz difference between 528Mhz and 1300Mhz. The difference is actually only 772Mhz.
