Quad-Core Kal-El Mobile Processors

The mobile marketplace, mobile handsets as well as the new fangled tablets  is seeing a lively amount of activity with manufacturers bringing out ever  better performing devices. This Mobile World Conference time, back in Mar, saw a lot of announcement prior to and during the conference.Nvidia's own Tegra 2 was quite a leg up in performance compared to the first generation chips.Tegra 2 was representative of the new generation as it represented the combined force of a CPU and a GPU being used to address the mobile computing needs.

The new Kal El (Superman as he is known on his birth planet) is quad core chip and should be about twice fast than the 2 core devices.. That is the CPU side. With the enhanced graphics built in the graphics performance too becomes almost double. For example if Tegra 2 had a Coremark benchmark rating of 5840, the Kal El has 11, 352 as Nvidia claimed during launch.

All this firepower is aimed at making HD video possible on mobile devices, may be even 3D video visibility besides all the smartphone features we have come to expect on smart devices./
