Information / Related NewsOpen Full Story in New WindowQualcomm hopes Snapdragon smartbooks take bite out of Atom

Reported by Ars Technica on Friday, 13 November 2009 (on November 13, 2009)

Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor is finally coming to little laptops. The chip company has confirmed that its speedy ARM offering has been adopted by Lenovo for a new product with a netbook form-factor. The device will be available from AT&T, presumably offered with some kind of contract subsidy.

Despite being named after a flower, the Snapdragon has serious bite. Its Cortex-A8 core packs 1GHz of processing power, delivering an impressive balance of performance and energy efficiency. The chip is already being used in a handful of ultra high-end smartphones, including the HTC HD2 and Sony Ericsson's upcoming Xperia X10 Android handset. The company hopes to bring it to more mainstream phones and other devices in the future.
