In a world dominated by quad-core processors headlined by NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 ARM-based CPU, Qualcomm is showing that there is still life left in dual-core processing technology with its dual-core Snapdragon S4 chipset in the form of the MSM8960. AnandTech, which recently got a version of the Snapdragon S4 chip for testing and benchmarking, posted promising results of the chip, though it’s still unclear if the S4 will live up to Qualcomm’s claims. Last year, Qualcomm made the bold claim that its improved dual-core S4 chipsets would outperform quad-core chips made by competitors.
It's not often we get excited about benchmark numbers, but we'll make an exception today. Early benchmarks of the first chips based upon Qualcomm's new Snapdragon S4 (“Krait”) architecture have appeared, showing dramatic improvements from earlier Snapdragon chips
