Tegra Roadmap Revealed: Next Chip to be World’s First Quad-Core Mobile Processor

http://www.droidgamers.com/index.ph...ows-it-off-working-in-android-devices-already
From the article:''...nVidia demoed the quad-core Tegra 3 chip in an Android tablet today at MWC 2011 doing all kinds of awesome stuff like running games and video. In fact the video they played was 1440p content running on a 2560x1600 panel. This means that 10.1" displays will be outputting video at 300dpi without a hiccup or stream that right to your TV.
nVidia also revealed their timeline with three new chips planned for release over the next 2 1/2 which the last one landing in 2014. These chips are codenamed: Wayne, Logan and Stark (seems like some X-men stuff going on here doesn't it?) with Stark being the furthest one with a 2014 release and according to nVidia, it will have 75x the speed of Tegra 2.
All we can say is, we want now! Check out the full post below from nVidia's Tegra site. for reference, Project Kal-el is the Tegra 3 chip. We should be seeing quad-core chips in Android tablets by August and in Android phones by Christmas 2011...."

WOW! I want one .

Batman, Wolverine and Iron man? lol cool.

[Q] anyone know of specs of upcoming tablets?

I've done some research on existing tablets and the CPU/ram is VERY disappointing. does anyone have an inside scoop on release days and specs of upcoming tablets?
the cameras are terrible as will but i don't think I'll ever use the camera on a tab lol

[TECH OPINION] When will phone SoC/Processor technology stabilize?

When do you think phone processor tech will stabilize with software? Moore's laws?
It's apparent SoC, GPU development and technology will continue, but processors, just like desktops and notebooks do, are bound to start seeing that point where gains are insignificant to the average user.
From 2008 to 2012, we've seen a lot happen. My recollection of it starting from:
2008: G1 was released, 528mhz MSM7201A
2009: Nothing major until the Hero, under MSM7200A, even then was major/minor depending on how you look at it
2010: S1 QSD8250 / OG Desire released, was a reigning champion GSM wise as well as the Nexus One. That was until S2 MSM7x30's came out. CDMA Evo 4G, G2, Desire HD, a lot of which are the "basic smartphones" that still function very adequately today. Samsung just got their gears started somewhere in this time.
2011: In Q3 2011, we start seeing dual-cores becoming the market standard. Samsung's taken a lead in the market penetration with the Exynos SoC's, GNexus, SGS2, are all flagship phones.
2012: So far it seems the S4 (One series) chipsets had the lead for the first half, and we start seeing quad cores. That is until Exynos 4 just entered the fray. We are already seeing 1.5ghz this year

Click to collapse
It's not a doubt we will see more penta/hexa or some other maximizations (maybe even octas) just sometime the next year or two, but at that point is that even needed to browse the web, check email and run some general apps? A good chunk of cellphone users probably do not play games or processor-intensive tasks, just as a good majority of users in reality are still using core2duo's or core2quads without much problems in daily use seeing no need to upgrade to i7 architectures - games and other major multimedia applications aside.
Personally if I had to venture a guess, once SoCs reach 2.0+ dual or quad cores, this is the breaking point to where upgrading can only benefit for hardcore enthusiasts or app/game fanatics. That doesn't seem too long in the future, as this could possibly by the end of this year.
I think that this year will be the year of the S4 processor in the United States.
Next year will probably be Quad-core Krait and Higher clocked Tegras/Exynos processors (1.7ghz maybe?)
I don't think that stock clock speed will increase beyond 1.8ghz due to heat. Rather, I think efficiency, much like what the S4 is doing for dual core will become the focal point.
I agree with some previous posts.. We are almost at the plateau.. Software is our major downfall in the smartphone segment.. All of these newer phones could be running windows XP(example only) with the specs they are listing..
Drivers and software are holding us back now

Why you will (and won't) want a 64-bit phone

I was curious about the Snapdragon 810 adoption next year as I would imagine all 2015 flagships will fly one.

Upcoming nokia android phone 2017?

I have made a list of Nokia 2017 upcoming android smartphones, which includes ... These two mobiles looks different as per design as well as concept wise.
At this point, it isn't clear whether more Nokia Android phones are in the offing for MWC 2017, but it's likely based on recent leaks.
The Nokia Android phone is officially here - or at least it is if here is China. Announced at CES 2017,
Here's what we know so far, including the Nokia Android phones' release date, specs, price, as well as all the latest news and rumours.
