Quad Core Mobile Processor is upon us (almost)

While we are getting excited about dual core CPUs in Cell Phones, Nvidia went ahead and showcased the next gen Quad Core CPU code named Kal-El which is expected to be released in Aug 2011. This will be the first quad core mobile CPU in the market, while being bundled with a 12 core Geforce GPU featuring extreme HD video up to 2560x1600 resolution similar to that of Blue Ray. This platform will be 5x faster than the current Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual Core and almost closer to that of a Intel Core2Duo. For the sake of knowledge, Kal-El is the birth name of our very own Super Man (Clark Kent is his earthly name). Nvidia is apparently naming its Mobile Processor series after super heroes as the following projects will be named Wayne, Logan and Stark. Take a look at these amazing demos to have an idea of Kal-El's power. 


Here is an overview of its specs
  • Processor: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore, up to 1.5 GHz
  • GPU: 12-Core Nvidia Geforce with 3D stereo (12 unified shaders)
  • Video: output up to 2560x1600, 1080p H.264 High Profile video decode

WindScreen of Future

I thought AutoGlass is a company expert only in Windscreen repairs. But they're more than that. They are actually inventing stuff in their field. First it was self repairing glass 


and now its their vision for intuitive future windscreen technology expected to arrive in 2020.

Next level input in modern devices?

I remember when I saw Sony Ericsson's P900 (a long time ago) with a touch screen and a stylus for navigation. I thought that was the next level. But then came phones with capacitative touch screens for smooth touch input and gyro sensors for movement control and front facing cameras for gesture control. 

And after watching this now, I wonder when can the next level really be it.
