Qualcomm Roadmap 2012 Specifications
First we have Qualcomm MSM8960 which is Qualcomm‘s first Windows 8 certified SoC and is expected to start shipping in Q4 2011. Qualcomm MSM8960 specifications are the following:
• Dual 1.5-1.7 GHz Krait/ L2 1MB
• 2x500MHz LPDDR2
• LTE FDD/TDD cat3(8960); DC-HSPA(8270)
21HSPA+(8260A)
TD-SCDMA (8960, 8260A)
• 1080p HD Video@30fps; 3D 20Mpix
• Adreno 225 3D/2D 125M tri./sec (DX9.3)
As you can see the CPU’s core will be clocked between 1.5 and 1.7 GHZ and the SOC will feature an Adreno 225 GPU which supports the DirectX 9.3 feature set (DX9 + ShaderModel 3).
In Q3 2012 comes the lower-en model, Qualcomm MSM8930 with one memory channel, lower CPU clocks and less powerful GPU surprisingly named the Adreno 305 even though it’s less powerful then Qualcomm Adreno 225. It’s entirely possible that Qualcomm Adreno 225 is effectively a higher clocked variant (or mult-core) of the Adreno 220 and that the Adreno 305 is the new architecture… The specifications are the following :
• Dual 1.0-1.2GHz Krait/ L2 1MB
• 1x533MHz LPDDR2 • 1x533MHz LPDDR2
• LTE Cat2/DC-HSPA+ (8930)
21HSPA+ (8230)
TD-SCDMA
• 1080p HD Video@30fps; 3D 12MPix
• Adreno 305 3D 80M tri./sec (DX9.3)
Qualcomm is also planning on an low-end MSM8228 for Q3 2012 with the following specs :
• Dual 1GHz Krait / L2 512KB
• 1x 400MHz LPDDR2
• 14.4HSPA+
• 720p HD Video@30fps; 12Mpix
• Adreno 305 3D 80M tri./sec (DX9.3)
Finally we have Qualcomm MSM8974 which I guess replaces Qualcomm MSM8964/APQ8064 scheduled to launch in Q1 2013 with the following specifications :
• Quad 2.0-2.5 GHz Krait/ L2 2MB
• 2×667/800MHz LPDDR3
• LTE Cat4, DC-HSPA+, 1xAdv/DOrA/B
TD-SCDMA
• 1080p HD Video@60fps; 30Mpix
• Adreno 320 3D 225M tri/sec (DX9.3)
Qualcomm also details Qualcomm Modem roadmap which includes the MDM9200, MDM9600, MDM9215, MDM9615, MDM9625, MDM9225.
