Quad Core Cortex A15 is ARM's Next Super Chip

[Pei-chen]

How fast is too fast for smartphones? I think the wireless link to the carrier is more of a bottleneck than the processing speed of the phone.

With more and more being off-loaded to GPGPUs, maybe this will land up being a direct competition with the CPU. Wouldn't take much to have Windows fully running on this.

Except, you didn't say 'Crysis'. He was making a joke at how you misspelled it. Obviously?

I'm not sure why everyone's voting down Dalta Centauri. Since when has dreaming about what future tech could bring become a bad thing?

Just out of curiosity, besides gaming, what is it exactly that cellphones are so sluggish at doing that they're moving to dual and now eventually quad cores? I'm not a cell phone aficionado so I can't say I'm familiar with the issue.

I am amaze how these things evolve in months.

At work we have an HTC phone and we get a LOT of emails on it. To delete 100 emails off the thing causes it to almost totally lock up for a minute while its "working" on deleting the mails. So a multicore cpu would help that quite a bit. Also I saw on DailyTech that they might be making an 8 core version of this chip.

it sounds better for netbooks.

I thought this chip was intended for servers or at least ARM their primary focus for this one was on servers. Any way i would love a machine loaded with 200 of these and still using less then a single xeon CPU!

2-3 years, jesus AMD will have a smart phone version of llano or bobcat out smacking this in the face!

Because people like to crush dreams, and give negative marks, although they never respond with something as simple as, "I disagree."

Error correction seems to always be included in CPU design... that seems like a pretty important task, considering it even needs error correction. Why wouldn't they dedicate more co-processors to this task?

That's why grownups use Firefox with ad-block+ plugin 😉

We grownups also like to read readable posts on fora and thus i took the liberty of showing you how you could have written your post. Believe me when i say that if you would seriously like to voice your opinion or note your annoyance a text like the one i quoted and edited above will help a lot more then the original one.
