Qualcomm's first quad-core Snapdragon chip has arrived in a tablet -- but only for those with $1,300 burning a hole in their pockets and developers.


The tablet packs an APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 quad-core chip -- one of the most highly-anticipated quad-core ARM processors. Why? Because Qualcomm S4 silicon -- currently dual-core -- can be found in popular mobile devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One S.


The S4 is also slated to appear in the 4G version of the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity tablet.


And that means, of course, we can expect the quad-core Qualcomm chip to find its way into Verizon phones at some point, in addition to tablets.
