Dual core? That's, like, pre-historic or something.
The new spec is the flagship for Qualcomm's Snapdragon family, and it's full name is the APQ8064.
It's the first in a new family of Snapdragon chips based on the codename 'Krait', but it's still based on the same basic ARM design as the recently launched dual-core APQ8060.
However, the speed is ramped up to 2.5GHz and doubles the number of processing cores to four.
Yeah, four.

Qualcomm says the new chip can deliver 12 times the overall performance of the APQ8060 yet requires 75 per cent less power than the original Snapdragon SoC platform.
