Well where is hardware capable of x360 performance, but lack of developers interest to make hardcore games for platform, which is at best casual, doesn't make things move faster

OK a i know the tabl... moreWhile it's true that the clock speeds are coming up, Intel processors are still going to be faster, even at the same clock speeds. Similar to how AMD processors don't carry out code at the same rate as relative Intel processors... Still, I'm looking forward for the futuristic supercomputer tablets.

            it will be better than Cortex A15 in terms of both speed and power efficiency

                    The technology of chipset is running to fast while battery of better generation was not developed as outside popular. Just hilarious, because cells will be out with very big size in next for the bigger extended battery so that it would be the tablet ! :(

                      Sigh.. It's a friggin roadmap designed to boost investor confidence

                      Qualcomm are probably more concerned about whether they'll still be around in 2 years

                          this technology is nothing until manufacturers find a solutions on how to power up our wireless devices... Why they did not invest first in Hybrid solar and kinetic technology to power our wireless devices without plugging to electric outlet... ............... do you agree????????????

                            AnonD-252, 16 Sep 2011Future versions of Android that can replace Windows 7, and ... moreThose alternatives are very poor,in fact there is not 100% compatibility between some, the GIMP and other useless crappy copies can´t match the originals.

                            You can´t compare Alternatives with real ones, I hear many years before for the annihilation of Microsoft with cheap alternatives (Like Linux) and you can see the results even the hardware compatibility are better in Microsoft OS than any other....:P

                            There are plenty Microsoft for many years to come.....

                            However I like more a tablet for travel than any laptop or netbook, I don´t care if is Android, iOS or Windows 8 (by the way that tablet looks AMAZING) I like more the way those works than any other.

                              if u want tell about cpu clock speed and cores, its not all about hd movie playback and games!!! i believe, next generation lower end cpu will play hd movies flawlessly (not for their power hungry cloock-speed or cores, but for more intelegent instruction set !!!). but the web today is getting bigger and bigger. today most important part of a smartphone is browsers, and they are oviously power hungry. good to see powerfull mobile cpus for tomorrow to keep people actively connected !!!

                                People are saying that the processor will drain off a car's battery... But wait: there is a ultra-small lisure for the CPU, 1ghz Snapdragons take quite a lot of power, but 65nm to 22nm is a BIG diference, much smaller, less power inside the CPU.

                                        Let's not start to imagine these quad-core 2.5 ghz processors as for smart phones just yet, they are most likely going to be reserved for tablets and in-car navigation and multimedia systems.
