Qualcomm to Rebrand Snapdragon

One way to sound overly confident about his product is to say that it will help replace a large share of the gaming industry. But Qualcomm is not even there. They really believe that mobile devices are the next generation of processors Snapdragon will be so ahead of the competition that can replace current consoles. Or at least that indicate a company presentation that was leaked last week.


The image shows the current three major consoles, Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, being replaced by mobile devices with Snapdragon S4, which must have operating frequencies in the region of 2.5 GHz processors These would be used not only on smartphones as well as on tablets, which must connect to TVs to kick the butt of the current consoles. They will be offered in both dual and quad core models. and are expected to be produced at the beginning of next year.

As we have already seen much of the game developers noticed the potential of mobile platforms, do not think they have plans to help Qualcomm to replace consoles, since they still account for most of the profit. So it is hard to happen, although I have no doubt that the two gaming platforms continue to coexist side by side, always peacefully.
