► remove from comparison


The Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 QSD8250 was one of the first Snapdragon SoCs for smartphones and tablets featuring a Scorpion CPU core, an Adreno 200 GPU and GSM/UMTS radio.

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8230

► remove from comparison Qualcomm S4 Plus MSM8230

The Qualcomm MSM8230 (Snapdragon S4 Plus series) is a ARM based high-end smartphone SoC in 2012. It contains two Krait (ARMv7) CPU cores at up to 1.2 GHz, a Adreno 305 GPU, a single channel LPDDR2 memory controller and radio elements.  The chip is produced in 28nm LP (low power process) at TSMC. Compared to the MSM8930, the 8230 lacks LTE.

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