Qualcomm Strikes Again: New Family of Mobile Chips Offering Rich Multimedia and Wireless Capabilities
"Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies and data solutions, today at Mobile World Congress 2008 announced a family of three new industry-leading chipset solutions designed to power the next evolutions of mobile consumer devices. The QST1000�, QST1100� and QST1105� are a single platform of solutions with a range of highly integrated features and capabilities, including wireless connectivity; high-accuracy, multi-mode GPS positioning; a high-performance applications processor; support for broadcast mobile TV; and rich multimedia. The new QST-series chipsets are designed to enable the next generation of wirelessly connected mobile entertainment, TV, navigation and mobile Internet browsing devices - all while delivering time-to-market and efficiency advantages to device manufacturers."
In a nutshell, Qualcomm's QST1000 sports an integrated ARM11 applications processor running at 528MHz. It supports many multimedia features such as a camera, VGA video playback, TV-out, and a wide range of audio and video codecs. There's also support for GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and FM. The QST1100 includes all that, plus VoIP capabilities. And the QST1105 takes it a step further with a 2D/3D graphics core to help drive games, user interfaces, and other 3D applications. Like what you see? The first commercial devices with the new chips are expected this year.
