The Benefits of Quad Core CPUs in Mobile Devices

Post by Apoptosis »

NVIDIA recently sent me a PDF White Paper on The Benefits of Quad Core CPUs in Mobile Devices. I saved each page as a JPG and thought I'd upload it here to share with our readers.

This white paper also reveals some brand-new architecture details behind its next-gen quad-core Tegra chip, Project Kal-El.

As a refresher, Project Kal-El has

• the World’s First Mobile Quad-Core CPU
• the World’s First Variable SMP Processor, with patented 5th Companion Core for Low Power operation
• Lower power than Dual Core processors
• New 12-core NVIDIA GPU with 3x the graphics performance of Tegra 2

Project "Superman"? Gotta love it! :lol:

Thanks for this. A friend recently got his grown daughter a mid-end laptop with dual-core, even though I suggested he get the quad AMD version for just a little bit more. She doesn't game, but does do a lot of social networking, skype, etc. so it seems the quad would have been perfect for her. Thanks for this!
I have come to the conclusion that "FaceBook" should be renamed "FacePalm" :roll:

Just need someone like Asrock or Zotac to come up with something interesting.
It would make a nice low end HTPC.
