Qualcomm overhauls its mobile processor lineup with the Snapdragon 200, 400, 600, & 800

S4 is widely successful so why drop the brand? I'm sure many people will be confused by Qualcomm new branding.

And I'm disappointed that nothing was revealed about new chips features, lots of music and little information.

This is pale in comparison to nVidia spectacular show yesterday.

I think nVidia will beat Qualcomm this year.

whats the different between the cores used in Tegra4 and the new Qualcomm?..are they the same A15?

No Qualcomm Krait(old krait and new krait 300/400) are custom made ARM Architecture. A15 is different.

800 is not A15. It is upgraded Krait ( Krait 400)

so Krait 400 then can exceeds Exynos?.well i thought Exynos 4 or 5 has the same quad core A15 and so is the nVidia too right?

Krait has not been released so it is hard to tell.but here is estimation.
Krait 400 is said to be 70% faster than S4 pro. S4 pro had 3.3DMIPS/MHz so krait 400 will have 5.6 DMIPS/MHz.
Exynos 5250 which had 4.6 DMIPS/MHz. Samsung is moving from 32nm to 28nm. So it may increase to 5 DMIPS/MHz at max.
Maximum clock rate of krait 400 will be 2.3GHz while of Exynos will be 2.0GHz. So considering this Krait 400 will be faster than Exynos 5 series(approx 20%) .

75% increase in CPU performance and double the graphics power of the S4 Pro quad means the 800 should compare VERY nicely to the Exynos 5450 and T4.

Let's just hope Qualcomm's claims are right, and 2013 will be a very good year for consumers, more specifically, mobile gamers.

Still waiting on that Exynos 5450, though... Maybe Samsung will get taken off its throne?

T_T

Dude, i'm still in S1 here.. at least OMAP4 is dual core.. i'm still stuck in single core S1.. :(

But the S4 is coming today!

neither. Qualcomm does not use ARM designs directly like Samsung and Nvidia. They use them for compatibility reference but the design is Q's. It's a double edged sword that until recently was hurting them in the long game.

what do u mean?..so the way they make their cores actually ruins their profits

Better than mine. I have a 1.89Ghz dual core Pentium T2390.... with no GPU.
