NVIDIA Introduces World's First Quad-Core Mobile Processor (56k Warning)

I was going to post this in the mobile section, but the technology is just too insane. It could change mobile gaming forever.

The final version, STARK, will be 100x more powerful than anything currently in the market.

3DS and NGP: Make way for Tegra. :)

Tegra 3 info was already leaked a while back :P Sorry but you're late to the show.

Eh if you wanna get specific about it, Qualcomm announced a quad core at 2.5GHz first. Knowing Nvidia, this thing will get delayed 6-12 months while Qualcomm will be in phones by then.

Didn't this get announced a while ago?

What does this have to do with OnLive?

Gt5, then onlive, then this. ahhh.

BTW this applies to the Tegra 2 vs current A9 single cores:

[QUOTE="Mrmccormo"][QUOTE="NVIDIATI"] Quad core uses less battery than a dual core or single core. A quad core can do what a single core or dual core can with lower voltage and clock speeds. Example a dual core A9 cortex uses 40% less power than a single core to perform the same task.

oh man, does this mean OnLive.... PORTABLE?!?!?!funsohng

I lol'd

The ARM Cotex-A9 could be up to 4 cores it was announced 2 years ago in 2009. Just that no mobile device needed that many cores until the Sony NGP was announced. Nvidia still hasn't released Tegre 3 commercially. So ARM beats it.

With all that hardware power I think itll light my pockets on fire, literally.

What does this have to do with Onlive? you can play games on a 20 years old PC ya?abuabed

Did the world even exist 20 years ago ? :Pcarlisledavid79

Pft, everything more than 18 years ago didn't exist as far as I'm concerned :P

All I got from this is that Superman < Batman < Wolverine < Iron Man :P

So, WAYNE will give NGP a run for its money in 2012 ? I guess i will skip to a phone afterall

If this beats a C2D, it looks to be more suited to the netbook/ small laptop market rather than portable devices such as the NGP or 3DS.

Will be used everywhere and unify graphics, which is amazing, i will play Crysis 2 on my Windows 7 Phone soon

Well i got a tegra 2 tablet and it goes for about 7ish hours gaming (10-12 while on the web/ watching movies) at about half brightness with wifi on. Also i cant feel the unit heating up from the cpu/gpu. So i don't think the next tegra will causea device to warm up that much/ drain alot of power since the tegra 3 is more power efficient etc
