*** OFFICIAL - CES 2013 Thread***

Qualcomm has just announced their next generation of mobile processors, the Snapdragon 800 and 600 series.

Starting with the Snapdragon 600, it includes two of Qualcomm's newest Krait 300 cores, clocked at 1.9GHz. The GPU is the Adreno 320 with an increased clock speed compared to the one in the S4. The Snapdragon 600 is aimed at mid-range mobile devices.
If you want something faster, then Qualcomm has the new Snapdragon 800 for you. Running four of the latest Krait 400 CPU cores clocked at an incredible 2.3GHz, along with a brand new Adreno 330 GPU, which is said to be 50 percent faster than the Adreno 320. Thanks to all this power, the Snapdragon 800 is also capable of encoding/deciding 4K content at 30fps.
Other features include integrated 9x25 3rd generation LTE baseband, integrated 802.11ac baseband and 2x32bit LP-DDR3 at 800MHz memory with 12.8GB/s bandwidth. Both the Snapdragon 800 and 600 are based on TSMC's 28nm process.

The old Snapdragon S1-S4 series has now been rebranded and replaced by the Snapdragon 200, 400, 600 and 800 series of processors. The Snapdragon 800 is expected to arrive by the middle of the year whereas the 600 should arrive by Q2.

Two questions. Price? Bootloader status? Made a huge mistake in buying my XS with O2 thinking the bootloader was unlocked - almost a year later, still no solution.
 
No phone teaser's from Samsung - boo! :D

Xperia Z looks nice if a bit meh! ZL from is a whole 7mm shorter and 2mm less wide.

Will we see either this or the 600 in the GS4 or HTC M7 does anyone think?

And did I read somewhere about these chips giving vastly improved battery life?

GS4 will have Exynos 5 which is A15 based - very powerful.

M7 will most likley be an S4Pro.

I think Krait 300/400 will bo out H1 of this year. 600/800 are H2/Q4 I believe.
 
Might actually be hard to find something that can utilise the power of the 800 tbh. I'd never knock progress don't get me wrong, but that is a fair way ahead of everything going around today.

Krait 300/400 is the new CPU architecture (over Krait 200 or Krait v2 as it was known) Snapdragon 600/800 (with 200/400 variants) are the SoCs. Massively confusing! Qualcomm suck beans when it comes to marketing. :D

The Snapdragon 600 is for smartphones, the 800 is for tablets.

The Nexus 4 only lasts ~5 minuets at full burn before it overheats and shuts down, that's not even stressing the GPU, modem or other IP blocks...

The 800 won't be used in a phone and if it is (like Tegra 4/quad core Exynos 5 will be for marketing) it'll be crippled to point of irrelevance, may as well use an i7.
We'll see more benchmark specific power profiles too :( I still think we'll get actual IP blocks dedicated to high quadrant scores when we hit 16nm. (Lot's of dead space on the chip to use :D)
