If you’re not satisfied by the fast 1GHz Snapdragon processor, Qualcomm has confirmed to launch 1.5GHz dual-core chips in Q4. According to Mark Frankel, vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, the dual-core chip QSD8672 will fit into devices like smartphones, tablets, low-cost laptops and if his estimation is correct, the first device bearing this powerful chip will come by this Christmas.

The QSD8672 succeeds MSM8660 dual-core that ran at 1.2GHz. 8672 will be based on 45-nm fabrication and features individual voltage scaling enabling better power consumption, 1080p HD video playback and integrated HDMI.
