Snapdragon 800 is the flagship product of Qualcomm. The Snapdragon S4, which surpasses all others, has a 75% performance improvement. The new Krait 400 CPU architecture can reach 2.3GHz in the main frequency. It can support the resolution of QFHD up to 2560 × 2048. It integrates a faster LTE baseband chip with lower power consumption. The graphics chip is upgraded to Adreno 330, twice the performance of Adreno 320, The Snapdragon 800 can be used not only on tablets, but also on smart phones. So by the middle of this year, we will be able to use 2.3GHz smart phones, which is really expected. The Snapdragon 400 and 200, which are relatively low end points, were not introduced on site.
