Qualcomm Snapdragon C Platform.

Qualcomm is getting into some of the nitty-gritty details of the Snapdragon C system-on-a-chip, the ARM-based platform it announced in June for laptops priced around $300.

The Snapdragon C is an 8-core Qualcomm Kryo CPU, with a single-core max frequency of 3 GHz and a multi-core max of 2 GHz. A Qualcomm spokesperson clarified that "Snapdragon C's 8 cores operate at different max frequencies to optimize for power [and] performance with 1 core at up to 3GHz, 3 at up to 2.6GHz, and the remaining 4 at up to 2GHz. The maximum sustained frequency across all cores is 2 GHz.."

It also has an integrated Adreno GPU with a max frequency of 900 MHz, and a Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, though Qualcomm hasn't listed how many TOPS it supports.
