NVIDIA’s Kal-El quad-core chipset


Whoops

Recommended Posts

NVIDIA’s Kal-El has a secret – the quad-core CPU actually has a fifth core, called a companion core. It’s a low-power core that is meant to handle background tasks while the phone is idle (e.g. syncing email, checking Twitter for new messages and so on).

The Kal-El chipset also includes more powerful graphics – the 12 core GPU promises 3x the performance of Tegra 2. If you’re not afraid of geek talk, you can check out the white papers (one and two, PDF) for more details on NVIDIA’s upcoming chipset.

We’ve seen Kal-El run Windows 8 and it promises console-level graphics for Android – the only problem now is that there aren’t any upcoming devices with Kal-El, though there might be tablets coming out in time for Christmas (fingers crossed) .

Hoo Hoo Hoo, I hope before Christmas! Or do I get the new PSP Vita instead?
