    Rather than bringing more computing power to wearable devices, Qualcomm is aiming for efficiency with its new Snapdragon Wear 1100 chip. Announced today at Computex, it's meant for small wearables that won't be able to fit in large batteries. The company launched the Snapdragon Wear 2100 chip a few months ago, itself a smaller option for wearables compared to the Snapdragon 400-series processors used in some Android Wear watches, but the 1100 model takes things even further.
