reports Qualcomm demonstrated a 28nm Snapdragon chipset at an analyst meeting in New York on Wednesday. These chips will start sampling in 2011.
Geared for smartphones and tablets, the chipset will feature a new CPU core.

It will feature an integrated multi-mode modem that supports LTE as well as all 3G modes. It will offer upgraded graphics capabilities with four times the performance of the original Snapdragon chip, as well as built-in integrated connectivity for WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth and FM, according to Qualcomm.
