Qualcomm highlights power of its third generation dual-core Snapdragon architecture
Following HP's announcement of its TouchPad tablet, Qualcomm has been highlighting the role of its Snapdragon processors.

The TouchPad uses an APQ8060 dual-core architecture, and includes an Adreno 220 GPU.

The 8x60 family is part of the third generation of Snapdragon designs and provides two asynchronous processor cores; an integrated Adreno 220 GPU with twice the processing power of its predecessor; support for upto a 16 MP camera; and can capture and display HD 1080P stereoscopic video or 8 MP stereoscopic still images to an autostereoscopic panel or a 3DTV, allowing consumers to capture high resolution video or stills and watch them without special glasses.

Bring the family

“With more than 75 Snapdragon devices already announced, 150 Snapdragon devices in development and over 100 high end mobile games optimised for our GPU, Qualcomm continues to be a leader in delivering high performance devices to market,” said Raj Talluri, vice president of product management for Qualcomm.
