Qualcomm introduced its Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor for the next generation of wearable devices requiring always-on connectivity with low power usage for long battery life.
The processor is available in two versions: tethered (which uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) and connected. In the connected version, the processor’s next-generation LTE modem, which also includes low power Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, is engineered so users can stream music, answer calls, send messages, and much, much more, all directly via their wearable.
Some highlights:
- CPU – Quad ARM Cortex A7 up to 800 1.2 GHz optimized for wearables
- GPU – Qualcomm Adreno 304 GPU, OpenGL ES 3.0
- DSP – Integrated modem DSP shared for modem, GNSS, sensor processing, keyword detection and audio
- Audio – Fluence noise cancellation technology
- Modem – X5 LTE
- Global Mode – LTE FDD and TDD, WCDMA (DC-HSDPA, DC-HSUPA), TD-SCDMA, EV-DO and CDMA 1x, GSM/EDGE
- Wi-Fi – 802.11n (2.4 GHz)
