  Hmm.. Here I was.. thinking that Qualcomm had finally decided to license Imagination Tech's DirectX compatible GPUs for their WoA platforms... Reply

  The Adreno 225 in this tablet would have to support DirectX 10 and WDDM 1.2 as it's a requirement for all WinRT (and Win 8 x86) tablets. Reply

  I was actually expect them to wait for the S4 Pro with the Adreno 300 series GPUs before unveiling their Windows RT support. Reply

  I am very price conscious, mainly because I'm not into gaming. Therefore, I will be giving WinRT devices an almost exclusive look. Just get the display size up to about 12" and make sure it's a dockable hybrid. IMO - there will be lots of consumers willing to use a WinRT device with its Office and Skydrive integration. Outstanding! Please get id of as much of the outside edge around the display as possible. Reply

  Some sites reported it as using Adreno 320, though I am far more willing to believe Anandtech on this. Reply

  Depends on whether its a Snapdragon S4 or S4 Pro. Both are expected to be available by the end of the year, so it'll be up to OEMs which chip they use. Reply

  Qualcomm told us it's APQ8060A and thus Adreno 225. I couldn't physically verify however.

  isn't the Adreno 225 the same one used in the HP touchpad? Reply

  Touchpad had Adreno 220. Adreno 225 is similar but with higher clocks and usually comes with newer drivers. Reply
