Smartphones to Get 1.5GHz Qualcomm Chips By End of Year [Qualcomm]

Now every man and his donkey has a Snapdragon chip in their smartphones, it’s time for Qualcomm to go looking past the 1.2GHz speeds and convey us a 1.5GHz dual-core. It’s on its way, from late this year/early next year.

The dual-core QSD8672 chip was outed by Qualcomm’s VP of product management, Mark Frankel, and is alleged to support 1080p playback, inclusive of DDR2, DDR3 and HDMI components. While it’s not expected until early 2011, there’s apparently a great opportunity it can pop up in a number of products before Christmas. [ComputerWorld via MobileBurn via Engadget]
