With the competition to provide the best mobile devices in the market hots up, we take aquick look at two of the major players in the SoC (system on chip) arena. Previously, the first generation of the Snapdragon chips were common in phones like HD2, Nexus One, and Evo 4G providing what was considered at the time to be great performance. However, with the advancement in technology, a new generation of the Snapdragon chips known as the Qualcomm Snapdragon has been developed to step up the possibilities for applications in phones.
Unlike the NVIDIA Tegra 2, the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip is developed not to use the processor based on the ARM-designed chip. However, the application has a Qualcomm designed the core that have several features to improves its functionality. Unlike the last Snapdragon chips generation from Nexus One which depended on the 65nm process tech, the new Qualcomm Snapdragon allows phones to increase their performance. They can now use the 45nm technology that has more transistors.
Like the Snapdragon, Tegra 2 has to upgrade its applications. After realizing that Nvidia was making any progress with the Tegra, they decided to upgrade their application to what is now known as the Tegra 2 platform. TheTegra 2 platform has significantly exploded Android platforms in the market. Another notable diffences between them is that the Tegra 2 platform uses a high density transistor than the Qualcomm Snapdragon which is A8-based chips. Likewise, contrary to the Qualcomm Snapdragon, the NVIDIA Tegra 2 uses a 40nm manufacturing process.
