The MSM7x30 family of chipsets, which includes the MSM7230(TM) solution for HSPA+ networks and MSM7630(TM) solution with multi-mode HSPA+/EV-DO Rev. B and SV-DO support, is designed around optimal data throughput and powerful multimedia functionality. The 7x30 has the same market-leading Scorpion CPU as previously commercialized in the Snapdragon QSD8x50 chipset. The 7x30 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 to support features that include:
o 720p high-definition video encode/decode at 30 frames per second
o Integrated 2D and 3D graphics GPUs with support for OpenGL ES 2.0, and OpenVG 1.1 industry standard APIs
o Dedicated low-power audio subsystem supporting 5.1 surround
o 12-megapixel camera support
o Integrated GPS for location-based services
o Support for leading mobile operating systems, including Android, Windows Mobile, Brew Mobile Platform and Symbian
o Support for package-on-package memory for reduced board space, optimized power consumption and more responsive performance
The MSM7x30 family of chipsets is supported by the PM8058(TM) power management integrated circuit and the QTR8600(TM) RF subsystem with integrated Bluetooth® and FM radio. The MSM7x30 chipsets will directly interface with Qualcomm's WCN1312(TM) WLAN solution for 802.11 b/g/n.
