I want to know this too. Baseband has went from Qualcomm as the only 3rd party provider ( Others are used in their own product ) to many choice on 3rd party solutions.
ST-E Thor, Broadcom, Intel, Would be nice if Anand does an article on it.Reply
Why is the upload speed always so much smaller than the download one? Is it a technical issue, as in it's harder to make the upload speed as fast or is it just laziness/desire to cut development cost. So they're like: "we've achieved 50 Mbps with it so far - let's not bother increasing that, and just ship it as it is".Reply
because in you normal digital life you are more prone to download things than to upload them, so it seems pretty fair to have more bandwidth dedicated to downlink...
even in ADSL UL gets the noisy and smaller part of the spectrum, compared to DLReply

Looks like this is one of the top competitors to Qualcomm's solution. ReplyNehemoth - Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - link
How it does compare against the new introduced XMM 7160 Replyxaueious - Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - link
Marketing says Broadcom has Cat 4 vs Cat 3 for Intel. It might have a better power envelope, which Intel isn't known for excelling in. Replyiwod - Thursday, February 28, 2013 - link
