Qualcomm company , noted by its developments in the sphere of connection and wireless solutions, and also by its processors based on ARM architecture prepared for production the new generation of devices. This company reported about future SoC (system-on- chip).
After the release of smart phone on base of operating systems android, to Qualcomm appeared real chance to fill enormous niche on this promising market. The recently released processors snapdragon, based on 65 nm and 45 nm technical process, that have the clock frequency 1 GHz and graphic system adreno, use great demand among the producers of smart phones.
According to qualcomm presentation slide , the chipset MSM 8960 will get a new architecture of computational core, Qualcomm declared about five-fold increase in the productivity with the reduced energy consumption by 75%. Graphic processor will become four times faster than the utilized in the contemporary devices. The most important function for SoC is the complete support of connection 3G, Bluetooth, WLAN and GPS standards. The following generation microcircuits will be released on thin 28 nm technical process.
But until the new generation Of soC systems is personified in finished products, it is worthwhile to focus attention on MSM8260 and MSM8660 chips, based on 45 nm technical process and using a graphic system adreno 200 and Adreno 205 respectively. They will be also dual core version in 2011.
