Nvidia unveils the details behind the tegra 3

[Eerongal he/him]

Until now, just know under the name project Kal-el.

Their new tegra 3 chipset will be quad core device with a 5th "companion core" for battery saving purposes, with a 12 core GPU, support for faster ram chips (DDR3L-1500) and much more. In about a month, they're going to be putting this things in tablets. At the beginning of next year, these beasts are going into phones.

Awesome, no?

Wow. That's kind of insane. ...I want one.

[Chaos he/him]

This is pretty much amazing.

Yeah, i'm totally gonna get one of these things when they put them in phones next year to replace my epic 4G.

Sad part is, when i do, the CPU in my phone will technically be have better specs than the one in my computer (i have a dual core 2.3 ghz in my laptop. Kinda old, but it works for me), though obviously this one is ARM architecture as opposed to x86 architecture, which makes a difference. I know obviously it won't technically be better, but its just weird thinking about the cores/speed vs my PC and that my tiny phone has bigger numbers.
