Qualcomm Snapdragon: Difference between revisions
Undid revision 408494944 by 80.167.78.119 Scorpion is NOT A8. it's custom core dfeveloped by Quallcom themselves |
The ARM Instruction set is not very interesting as we know it's all the same. On the other hand the ARM Core is very interesting as this determines how many cores, max speed etc. there is. |

Snapdragon is a family of mobile system on chips by Qualcomm. Qualcomm considers Snapdragon a "platform" for use in smartphones, tablets, and smartbook devices.
The Snapdragon platform is designed for real-time ubiquitous computing with low power consumption for day-long battery life. The Snapdragon application processor core, dubbed Scorpion, is Qualcomm's own design. It has many features similar to those of the ARM Cortex-A8 core and it is based on the ARM v7 instruction set, but theoretically has much higher performance for multimedia-related SIMD operations.[1][2]
All Snapdragon processors contain the circuitry to decode high-definition video (HD) resolution at 720p or 1080p depending on the Snapdragon chipset.[3] Adreno, the company's proprietary GPU technology, integrated into Snapdragon chipsets (and certain other Qualcomm chipsets) is Qualcomm's own design, leveraging assets the company acquired from AMD.[4]
The first chipsets in the Snapdragon family were the QSD8650 and the QSD8250, available since the fourth quarter of 2008, both integrating a 1 GHz applications processor, a cellular modem and GPS.
