Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8225 is an entry level SoC for (Android) tablets and smartphones. It contains a Cortex-A5 based dual core processor and an Adreno 203 graphics card. 

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q

► remove from comparison Qualcomm S4 Play MSM8225Q

The Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q is an entry level SoC for Android based tablets and smartphones. It contains four ARM Cortex-A5 CPU cores with a clock rate of up to 1.2 GHz, an Adreno 203 graphics card, an LPDDR2 memory controller, and a UMTS radio module.

The performance of the Cortex-A5 cores is rather low (per clock) and therefore the quad-core is only on par with dual-core Cortex-A9 SoCs. The single threaded performance is however much lower.

The integrated video engine allows the encoding and decoding of 720p videos.
