awesome....told u someday we wont need laptops etc....

 

[Goldengoose]

Sightly regret getting the Galaxy Nexus now....

 

[stonedatheist]

Definitely looking forward to this... it's about time we get 1080p60 video recording

This thing is still a year away, assuming everything goes as planned.

 

[theuniquegamer]

So its for next galaxy nexus. Galaxy nexus 2.5ghz , 2gb ram , psvita like gpu etc

This is not for smartphones, except maybe the extreme hi-end. This is for hi-end tablets, mid/hi-end nettops, and entry level/business laptops. This baby is a beast of a processor which clock to clock, core to core beats the Core2Duo still found in many business laptops. It will run circles around Tegra 3s, Atoms, and Zacate based Fusion processors.

And it's only dual core and 4W TDP for the entire platform including graphics processor and everything else. Imagine what a quad core higher clocked with more graphics pipelines version can.

Ivy Bridge killer? Well, probably not but the race is on.

Translation: Intel Atoms are in trouble.

 

[claydavis]

It is a Good one from Samsung.

Which is a phone, not tablet, yet this chip is designed for tablets.

With 2-3mm lens, right. It's about time to start wasting more memory for crappy video that hardly deserves 1/4th of that resolution at that FPS.

 

[scrumworks]

And I reveal middle finger towards Samsung.

Noob question:
are those cortex cpu similar as x86 cpu?
in a sense that in a possible near future shift to cortex cpu architecture instead of x86?

Noob question:
are those cortex cpu similar to x86 cpu?
in a way that in a possible near future, we could shift to cortex cpu architecture instead of x86?

So doesnt change much of anything..

Software at least needs to be recompiled to run on ARM. In most cases you'll also need to rewrite part of the software. Apple managed to gradually shift Mac OS X from PowerPC to x86 quite smoothly by providing software emulation (technically "binary translation") and universal binaries.

If Microsoft does it right, they could gradually move Windows from x86 to ARM. (provided that desktop class ARM processors exist, of course.)

Umm... where're you getting all this info from? :lol: Prooflinks? Benchmarks? I call BS on this CPU beating C2D.

 

[phatbuddha79]

I agree, no way can it beat a C2D on general purpose processing.

How the heck do you know that is can do more computation than a similarly clocked Core 2 Duo? I highly doubt it, except for the graphics processor which I'm sure can compute a ton of SIMD instructions per second.

Don't state facts unless you can back them up. If you can back them up, please provide a source!

More and more we see the desktop pc turn into a mobile phone!

The future would be to me like:
Imagine a docking station, and a plastic transparent window on your desktop, both connected via cable or wireless. Plug in your phone, and keyboard into the docking station, and you have a fully functional Core2quad 3Ghz computer!

 

[a_gert]

Hmmm... not as psyched about the Tegra 3 powered Transformer Prime as I was, now. Can't wait to see Samsungs stuff one into their next Tab.

 

[srgess]

At this rate we gonna see soon 10 ghz phone before computer x86 reach it !!

 

[eddieroolz]

I'd rather direct the good job pat in the shoulder to ARM who designed such a monster chip.
