Qualcomm MSM7×30 Smartphone Chipset
Qualcomm is sampling the new MSM7×30 smartphone chipset family. The MSM7×30 family features a strong emphasis on multimedia performance, supporting high-definition video recording and playback, exceptional graphics with dedicated 2D and 3D cores, and an overall chip design optimized for a highly responsive, immersive web experience. The first devices based on the flagship MSM7×30 family of chipsets are expected to launch commercially before the end of 2010.
Qualcomm MSM7×30 Smartphone Chipset Features
- 720p high-definition video encode/decode at 30 frames per second
- Integrated 2D and 3D graphics GPUs with support for OpenGL ES 2.0, and OpenVG 1.1 industry standard APIs
- Dedicated low-power audio subsystem supporting 5.1 surround
- 12-megapixel camera support
- Integrated GPS for location-based services
- Support for leading mobile operating systems, including Android, Windows Mobile, Brew Mobile Platform and Symbian
- Support for package-on-package memory for reduced board space, optimized power consumption and more responsive performance
The MSM7×30 family of chipsets, which includes the MSM7230 solution for HSPA+ networks and MSM7630 solution with multi-mode HSPA+/EV-DO Rev. B and SV-DO support, is designed around optimal data throughput and powerful multimedia functionality. The 7×30 has the same Scorpion CPU as previously commercialized in the Snapdragon QSD8×50 chipset. The 7×30 uses an 800 MHz to 1 GHz custom superscalar CPU based on the ARM v7 instruction set, delivering exceptionally high-end processing at low power.
The MSM7×30 family of chipsets is supported by the PM8058 power management integrated circuit and the QTR8600 RF subsystem with integrated Bluetooth and FM radio. MSM7×30 chipsets will directly interface with Qualcomm’s WCN1312 WLAN solution for 802.11 b/g/n.
