Qualcomm became King of smartphone processor vendors in 2011, ending TI's reign
Share:
Speaking of revenue, Qualcomm already was the leading vendor for processors built for smartphones in 2010 and repeated the feat last year. Samsung was next followed by TI and Marvell. For the first time in its history, Broadcomm made the top 5 list for smartphone processor revenue with sales that soared 500% over last year. Another name to watch is NVIDIA. With its dual-core Tegra 2 processor gaining traction, the company placed 6th in both units shipped and revenue. This year, the quad-core Tegra 3 will be in a number of smartphones, some of which will get to be displayed next week at MWC 2012 in Barcelona.
Speaking of MWC, we will be there to provide you with the most complete and up-to-date information. The expo begins Monday.

Not anymore. The new 28nm S4 dual/quad-core Krait processors that will be coming out are very very beastly. Plus in early 2013 they are talking about 28nm 2.5GHz quad-core processors with the Adreno 320 that will be on par with Xbox 360/PS3 graphics. THAT is no joke!
Qualcomm was once garbage but not anymore, they have stepped up their game!

Lets see how it stands out against the new quad core exynos

lol, you got your time tables right :)
its definately better, but it still isnt class leading compared to what else is coming out. the A-15 5xxx exynos quad (and possibly octo) cores are supposed to be about 20% better than a 360 and coming out at the same time frame.
really though, at that point is there a whole lot to argue about? i doubt we could even tell the difference on our phones/tablets at that point. We are on the verge of severely diminishing returns in the graphix/power mobile wars... at least until they figure out star wars style holograms. :)
I think the next big benchmark war is going to be battery life.

Who is going to rule in 2012?
TI vs Qualcomm vs nVidia
Intel might get a chance in 2013 though.

i think what Torr meant was "exynos is so far ahead, im only going to name these other chips who are clearly fighting for 2nd place" :) :)

They might be behind interms of quantity but when it comes to performance its the best (in 2nd generation SoC)!!

All we need now is for ATI to get involved with phones lol haha :p

LOL, ATI aka AMD now...
that sounds good to have more choices but the market is getting crowded on the other hand

Oh yea AMD lol, and yes its getting to the point not to even know which Android phone to get. You have 5 phones next to each other with the same specs but each have different cpus/gpus in them and you don't know if the phone you get will be able to play the same games as other phones. I like choice but this is starting to get out of hand. Im no fan of Apple but at least with the iPhone you know what your getting. So sad to say that last part lol

Exynos isn't that good anymore,what bothers me is that they haven't made a single phone that suports LTE. So maybe benchmarks show exynos as the champ but snapdragon are the best betwen performance and conectivity;)
