Qualcomm has leaked a presentation showing off the next generation of the Snapdragon mobile processors.
Each of the chips will be based on the smaller 28nm Krait architecture, moving down from 54nm of most current chips.
By moving to the 28nm, the new processors promise to use 47 percent less power than a current A-15 chip, with same clock speed.
The MSM8270, MSM8930, MSM8960 and the APQ8064 will all be multiple times faster than current CPUs and support "console quality gaming" graphics.
Each of the processors will be clockable to 2.5Ghz, have 3G and LTE, 3D support, 1080p video, Dolby Surround Sound 7.1 and can support camera sensors up to 20MP.
The first chip will be available later this year, with the rest available into 2012. It is unclear when the first smartphones and tablets using the chips will be released, however.
