Qualcomm has released the whitepaper for their upcoming S4 SoC (system on a chip), and it's features look great. The new 28nm process technology promises "inherent advantages in frequency scaling, power consumption and size reduction", and the Krait CPU and Adreno 225 GPU should offer some serious performance, clocked between 1.5Ghz and 2.5Ghz, with a 50 percent graphics boost over the current Adreno 220 GPU. The new 28nm manufacturing process means that not only will the be faster, but they will be smaller and run cooler as well -- allowing things to get thinner and thinner in our smartphones. The new S4 is still an asynchronous design, which carries it's own benefits in the battery use department.
To go with the bump in performance, Qualcomm also tells us that the new SoC will have embedded support for just about every radio we want and need in our phones -- GSM, CDMA, LTE, GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, FM and NFC. Having support for everything on one chip means two things -- cheaper production costs, and less room needed to pack all the features into your smartphone. Both are something we all can appreciate. The only real question left to answer, is when we will see these make their way into our devices. Hit the source link for the whitepaper download.
