Dual core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8660 with new Adreno 220 GPU benchmarked

Thanks to Qualcomm Snapdragon platform, and Google Android operating system, more and more people are discovering just how awesome it is to have the internet in their pocket. With time the advances in both hardware and software have made smartphones even more capable than the computers many of us just a few years ago. While we have yet to hear about what Google plans are for Android in 2011, we can get a sneak peak at what Qualcomm is working on thanks to Anandtech. Qualcomm has provided them with a device called a "Mobile Development Platform" (MDP), which is just a fancy way of saying hardware that’s not meant for consumers, but instead for developers to prototype their applications.

In the MDP there is a dual core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8660 processor and an Adreno 220 GPU. We have yet to see either of these things inside consumer hardware, but we probably will by the end of this year. Its actually inside HP new tablet, the Palm TouchPad.
