Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960

The Qualcomm MSM8960 (Snapdragon S4 series) is a ARM based high-end smartphone SoC in 2012. It contains two Krait (ARMv7) CPU cores, a Adreno 225 GPU, a LPDDR2 memory controller and radio elements including LTE. The chip is produced in 28nm LP (low power process) at TSMC.

The Krait cores should offer a slightly better performance as the standard Cortex-A9 cores and are compatible to the NEON SIMD extensions.
