We rarely write about chip solutions, but Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM)’s latest baby is an exception. It leverages advanced 45 nanometer CMOS process technology and combines rich multimedia, power-saving innovations and broadband data speeds.
With support for downloads of up to 10.2 Mbps, uploads of up to 5.76 Mbps, compelling multimedia content and integrated Bluetooth/FM/GPS, the QSC6295 is “helping drive the migration of popular Internet community and media sharing services to the mobile space.” Let me just recap the key features:
- 400 MHz ARM 11 CPU
- Support for WQVGA video playback and recording with TV-out
- 5.0 megapixel camera
- 3D hardware-accelerated graphics
- Integrated gpsOne baseband and radio
- Integrated Bluetooth baseband and radio, FM radio and USB 2.0 HS
- Support for all UMTS bands and quad-band EGPRS, as well as receive diversity for enhanced data throughput performance
- 12mm x 12mm package
- several features of the UMTS Rel. 7 standard (HSPA+) are also on board
What else to say – I can’t wait to see and play with the first devices that use the QSC6295… Here’s the link to the full release.
