- crazy! Can't wait to give one of those devices with this built into it. It should be something else.

- Samsung hasn't said anything about moving to a new architecture. Both TI and Qualcomm are moving to the Cortex A15 (Qualcomm is technically called Krait since its modified) with their next generation of chips. The A15 is 30-50% faster than the A9.10-19-11 01:06 AMLike 0

There's an up, and down side to open source. In the Linux world, the open source alternative to Nvidia's proprietary binary drivers still haven't caught up to its officially sanctioned counterparts. It does help to have a good amount of financial backing (which Nvidia does). But, if you take a look at the likes of ATI/AMD (who still can't write reference drivers to save their lives) all that hardware being boasted is being put to waste because A) their drivers fail to OPTIMIZE the hardware in relation to the OS in question; B) the drivers end up buggy, and thus crash the system at times; or both.10-19-11 02:06 AMLike 0 - Just think..by the time these are mainstream, RIM will just be coming out with their new dual core phones! All the competitors must be shaking in their boots..10-19-11 08:25 AMLike 0
- avt123O.G.Software is more important than the amount of cores on a device, especially on a smartphone.
We also have to wait and see how efficient these chips will be. Battery tech development needs to improve as well.
I am definitely excited to see how these chips perform in devices, especially now that ICS will be coming out and should be able to support it (if their next chip is quad core). We all know Apple will support it. RIM? I don't expect to see a dual core+ device until next summer.10-19-11 10:19 AMLike 0 - All that horse power won't mean squat if embedded driver writing quality hits the crapper. I've seen behemoths throughout the computer industry who flake because their people can't write good device drivers to save their lives. It's even more crucial in the world of embedded computing, since things are that much closer between the OS, and hardware.
Edit: They updated the article. Says it should perform similarly, but still be able to outperform the SGX543MP2 in a GLBenchmark.

But everyone cares more about apps that constantly poll, UI graphics, phone thinness (which is hardware related), etc. So battery is a fairly bottom barrel priority.10-20-11 03:45 PMLike 0
