Gizchina News of the week
The next breed of Snapdragon is said to be up to 150 percent faster than the current model, with a power consumption drop of up to 65 percent.
Samples will be ready for OEM by the second half of this year, with ‘entertainment’ ready versions i.e tablet specific CPU’s looking to be in production by early 2012, which means we’ll be looking at around 2014 before we see the 2.5Ghz version, which is around the same time we should also expect the super fast Nvidia Logan CPU to launch!
