SAN DIEGO, Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm
Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that its subsidiary,
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., is introducing the Snapdragon 600E and
410E processors, for embedded applications in many verticals such
as digital signage, set-top-boxes, medical imaging, point of sale
systems, industrial robotics, and other Internet of Things (IoT)
related applications. Qualcomm Technologies has utilized its mobile
investment in Snapdragon processors to introduce solutions for
product categories beyond smartphones. The Snapdragon 600E and 410E
are being made available globally by third party distributors,
initially through Arrow Electronics, for a minimum of 10 years from
the Snapdragon 600 and Snapdragon 400 (respectively) product
families' first commercial sampling. This is the first time
stand-alone Snapdragon processors are available by distributors,
making them accessible in a variety of quantities to manufacturers
of all sizes for embedded computing and IoT products.
The introduction of the Snapdragon 600E and 410E processors,
along with their global availability by distributors, is an
important extension of the Snapdragon embedded product portfolio
and its ability to address the needs of highly fragmented consumer,
enterprise and industrial categories. The Snapdragon embedded
portfolio has a tiered offering that includes development boards,
commercial-ready modules, as well as the discrete processors for
chip on board designs. These embedded processors offer device
manufacturers, solution providers, and system integrators
tremendous options for speeding commercialization through a variety
of off-the-shelf and custom modules, as well as the freedom for a
chip on board design for a cost-optimized approach unique to their
requirements.
"Snapdragon is a powerful and versatile processor with many
potential applications in a wide variety of IoT applications and we
can now offer this technology to a much wider range of customers
with the additional benefit of long-term support and availability,"
said Raj Talluri, senior vice president, product management,
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "The Snapdragon 600E and 410E bring
together some of our best connectivity and compute technologies to
meet the needs for a large range of embedded and IoT
applications."
The Snapdragon 600E featuring 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm® Krait™
300 CPU is the ideal processor for building advanced systems with
multi-core performance and immersive 3D graphics, thanks to the
Qualcomm® Adreno™ 320 GPU and Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP. It supports
integrated Bluetooth 4.0/LE & 3.x, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and GPS
for connected applications. It is also highly expandable for a
variety of use cases with SATA, SD3.0, DDR memory, eMMC storage,
HDMI, LVDS, HSIC, and PCIe interfaces.
The Snapdragon 410E 1.2GHz quad-core processor offers high
performance, low power consumption and rich multimedia with an
Adreno 306 GPU and Hexagon DSP. It supports Bluetooth 4.1/LE,
802.11 b/g/n and GPS, making it ideal for IoT use cases in smart
homes, digital signage, medical equipment, industrial automation,
digital media players and smart surveillance.
"The introduction of Snapdragon 600E and 410E offers a broad
range of product options," said David
West, senior vice president, Arrow Electronics. "Arrow looks
forward to offering Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon processors
and complementing them with the full range of parts and engineering
services we can offer to help customers through
commercialization."
With its expertise in connectivity and compute, Qualcomm
Technologies is well positioned to deliver the technologies needed
in IoT, and has already brought Snapdragon embedded solutions to
products as diverse as the Fujifilm Sonosite portable iViz
ultrasound system and the Open-Q 410 Wearable Camera Reference
Design from Intrinsyc targeting first responder use cases. Built
from the foundation of the Snapdragon 600 and 410 processors in the
Company's mobile portfolio, Snapdragon 600E and 410E join a family
of solutions to support manufacturers from initial concept all the
way to commercialization. Customers have the flexibility to start
their evaluation and development with the highly accessible
DragonBoard™ 410c community development board manufactured by Arrow
Electronics, which is compliant with the 96Boards consumer edition
open hardware specification. They can then select from
off-the-shelf or custom modules, or choose to use the Snapdragon
600E or 410E with a minimum of 10 years extend life support and
availability through 2025, in an optimized chip on board design.
