What happened with Sony's CPU??? werent they planning to ship it out to all refrigirators telivision and stuff like that?

Fail...

hmm, announcing the specs for the OMAP5 in pretty thorough detail before the OMAP4 has even been released. That's... um, interesting. The yet to be officially announced next gen Tegra will also incorporate Cortex A15's at 28nm. I wonder how these two SOC's will stack up against each other? It would be pretty funny if the Tegra 3 gets released first.
 
The 4Ghz because of the dual-processor and the 2560x2048 display resolution made me laught. Let's not forget about the 24 MP camera wich I would love to see the img quality and not the ridiculous MPs. What about battery life with this "computer"?
Also, they are planning a 3G modem for 2013? at this rhythm we'll be in 5G. What about Tegra 3 with a quad-core powering the mobile market?
Time will tell if this will succeed.
 
[citation][nom]amk09[/nom]Yea the 4GHz reference made me cringe...really?[/citation]
yeah, that got me too... smh....
 
[citation][nom]dstln[/nom]Judging by the cost of their calculators, this processor will cost around $4 million dollars...[/citation]


U do know how much it costs them to build and program a device like that right? And even though they sell a lot of them they still don't sell enough to make them cheap as cpu's. This OMAP 5 will sell a huge amount in smartphones, netbooks, etc. It will be cheaper to build.
 
Sounds pretty good, I wonder when these things will become affordable?
I've never heard of adding up the core speeds before? My E7400 is 2.8Ghz, not 5.6Ghz.

I'll do you one better...

Can this thing run Crysis?? ...now there's your Fail. LOL

Seriously though, I want to see this. Maybe, just maybe I'll buy one. We'll see.

Yup, it's pretty insulting. I have yet to get my Q9550 CPU to 4Ghz stable and here they are lying about their chips clock speed. I guess by their logic I can say my CPU running at 15.6Ghz.

Let's see you top that TI!
 
Kinda fun when people assume ghz is the way to measure processor speed. A RISC like the one above will never be able to do any advanced instructions in just one clock cycle but rather have to break it down to several simple resulting in several runs to do what for instance a x86 often do in just one cycle.

So comparing a narrow pipe RISC who can process a tiny package each cycle to one who can lift an entire container per cycle is kinda amazing. A pinto engine running at 2000rpm or a V12 at 2000rpm, what engine would you love to have?

I just laugh when i hear the phone boiz think their phones are as fast or faster than a real computer because their ghz is the same or marked with the logic above.

Hmm intel 980X@4ghz should then be counted as 24 ghz but wait it got hyper threading so why not count it at 48 ghz while at it. Sure it would fool some less educated!

 
"two ARM Cortex-A15 MPCores that can be clocked at up to 2 GHz (each, which would be a total of 4 GHz, if we stay with the current trend that we simply add up the clock speeds of processing cores)"

Please don't stay in trend with that... it's insulting and may work for some twisted marketing department desperately trying to sell the chip to muggles...
 
So it's the first real dual core_2xA15_processor with integrated help and I suppose that the 2 GHz variant won't apply to anything mobile, maybe if is somehow like the turbo mode of Intel processors, for short periods of time or in single thread mode.At least not on 28nm node.Good luck TI but I think it was too early announced.

Perhaps Douglas likes spreading misinformation and confusing the less educated PC community. I think it's unethical, but to each their own.
 
Maybe we should consider a core i7 980X@4GHz CPU a 48GHz beast and then people will understand how much powerful PC's still are when compared with smartphones.
Any way, the gap is certainly closing between these two form factors and it will be within the next years that either mobile PC's beat smartphones, smartphones kill mobile PC's or they become one thing as already happened with handheld PC's, but I honestly hope desktop PC's never disappear, because we, the enthusiast crowd, know where the power really is 😀
 
By 2013, people won't mind having a 3 hour battery life on their phones. That would be the main concern for me. It seems high-end smartphone users don't care about having the thing living in a wall socket as long as they can open 100 apps at once.
