Qualcomm（高通）去年推出的高階處理器 APQ8064（Snapdragon S4 Pro）深受各品牌的歡迎，HTC 的 Butterfly、OPPO 的 Find 5，甚至是剛發表的 Xperia Z 也是採用 APQ8064 處理器的，而 Qualcomm 在 CES 2013 發表新一代的 Snapdragon 處理器，並分為 600 和 800 兩個系列。

Snapdragon 600 和 800 系列的處理器，主要是針對中高階手機、平板電腦及智能電視等市場，預計在年中便會有裝置搭載。官方稱 800 的性能較現時的 S4 Pro 快 75%，並採用 28nm HPm（High Performance for mobile）製程，同時將 LPDDR3 的匯流排時脈提升到 800MHz。Snapdragon 800 將使用新的 Krait 400 架構及 Adreno 330 顯示核心，最高時脈可達 2.3GHz。至於 600 系列，是較 800 系列低一階，可稱上是 S4 Pro 的升級版，暫定本年第二季推出，最高時脈可達 1.9GHz，並將 Adreno 320 顯示核心強化以及支援 LPDDR3。

此外，Snapdragon 600 和 800 支援 LTE-ADVANCED（Category 4），最高速可達 150Mbps，也支援 802.11ac WiFi 和 USB 3.0。另一方面，Qualcomm 表示今年還會推出針對中低階市場的 400 和 200 系列的處理器，但尚未公佈有關詳情。
