Dual Core Snapdragons...Oh Yeah!

[dmodert66]

According to Engadget, Qualcomm has started shipping them, but it is a mystery as to whom...

Qualcomm ships first dual-core Snapdragon chipsets clocking 1.2GHz -- Engadget

Thoughts?

Does anyone have any predictions as to when this will start to come out?

 

[grainysand]

I'd guess at the end of 2011 (not likely) or Q1/Q2 of 2012. Not sure the world's ready for dual-core phones yet; battery life is a problem with our good ol' single-core 1 GHz Snapdragons as it is.

 

[Smg]

Tegra 2 is gonna be better !.

Awesome

I should be due an upgrade around that time...

 

[Lukehluke]

Thats really cool.

Phones are just becoming to powerful.

We will have the power of a laptop in a phone soon

Looks like dual core could be here by end of 2010 Mobile Snapdragon Processor to hit 1.5Ghz, Dual-Core in 2010 - PCWorld

 

[Veez]

hummingbiiiird will top it

already there lol
ok 2010 phones have power of 2002-2003 laptop

First Tri-Core 1.5 GHz Processors for Smartphones: They're a Marvell!

my guess.. it will be out by end of 2011. I will like to know.. how they will handle the power consumption.. of CPU and 4G combined!!!!!

I read somewhere that the future dual core Samsung chips will actually consume less power than the current Hummingbird due to better architecture.

Everything in the future will consume less power due to technological developments.

 

[Vihzel]

Unless HTC can find a better way to better manage the battery lives of their phones. Id be very weary of being excited for a 1.5ghz Incredible 2.

No problemo... the new phones will come with one of these:

Just stay outside and never unplug your smartphone... you'll be fine!

If we still had bag phones I wouldn't need to lift weights in the gym!

 

[Ghold]

So this will make my device last, 2 hours?

Gotta love progress, Moore Law's in full effect; although the thought of either a quad core or 3 Ghz phone in 2012 is insane

 

[G.Armour]

I thought I read somewhere that Motorola was putting out a phone like this soon...

Moto was rumored to have a 2Ghz single core by the end of the year but they pulled that forecast and now likely will debut a dual core [probably 1.5Ghz a piece early 2011]. Much like PC's I think we might see additional cores be the en vogue thing as continuing to chase clockspeed could prove difficult with a die shrink and more active cooling of the cpu

 

[Kabob]

Yeah, it's easier to manage heat with multiple cores with a lower clock speed than a single core that's a missile. Heat is the ultimate enemy of clock speed.

 

[Member243850]

Whoa!!

Holy hand bags of doom! This is awesome!!!

I have heard of the rockchip 2808 dual core Android Tablet but only at like 600 mhz!! And not at a whoping 1.2ghz!

AWESOME!

Wow i wanna wanna wanna!!!!

I'm just waiting for the days of multicore phones connected via bluetooth to a screen and headset built into a pair of shades. You can choose to view the device in your shades as if on a giant screen, or make it opaque and view data like a heads up display.
