Qualcomm unveils quad-core processor for entry-level phones

  Qualcomm is certainly on a tear recently isn’t it? After seeing its smooth new Snapdragon S4 Pro power not just one superphone, but a second superphone as well— it has now announced a few new offerings that will soon be available to the masses as well.

Qualcomm announced a new entry in its ARM-based & Snapdragon& family of processors, this time targeting tablet devices as well as smartphones. The APQ8060 includes dual cores clocked at 1.2GHz, a homegrown & Adreno 220& GPU, and the ability to capture stereoscopic HD video or 3D still images....

As reported earlier, Qualcomm’s latest mobile development platform (MDP), the Snapdragon S4 Pro Dev is now available. Powering this device is their new APQ8064 chipset based on a quad core Snapdragon S4. Given the strong numbers posted by dual core S4 chips against quad core chipsets from other manufacturers, it should be no surprise that the quad core S4 just blows them away.

It was already rumored that LG was close to releasing a new quad-core Optimus device sometime this year which would be powered by the powerful Qualcomm APQ8064 processor.

Qualcomm’s upcoming quad-core version of their highly popular Snapdragon S4 processor is getting closer to mass release.

Is this the same as Snapdragon 600? Or is this a different processor?
