Qualcomm Pulls Out all the Stops in 'Born Mobile' Keynote | Gadget Lab | Wired.com: The headline technology announcement was the company’s new quadcore Snapdragon 800 series of processors. They provide super speedy (up to 150Mb per second) download speeds over LTE Advanced, and 802.11AC Wi-Fi allows for improved connectivity at home or in the office. It supports CPU speeds of up to 2.3GHz per core. It’s so powerful, you can view Ultra HD (4k) video and capture it on your mobile device. And it consumes half the power of its predecessor. That’s important, as our unquenchable data thirst (Qualcomm is expecting a 1,000x increase in network data usage in the next decade) puts a huge strain on device batteries.
