For your information, there are more than 2000 cores on a GPU. The number of cores and frequency is not an indication of processing power.

The hardware is flying, in couple of years, your phone could really replace your PC, if they manage to adapt the software properly.
Imagine having a phone, come home, dock it, the dock has a mouse/keyboard and a monitor connected to it, once it's docked a full desktop OS opens up with everything saved as you left it. Leaving somewhere? Grab the phone, the desktop OS freezes, mobile OS instantly kicks in with everything, again, the way it was... bam!

Future handsets, Nokia included (for windows phone 8) will need dual core ARM or S4 Krait chips as part of their architecture to handle intensive use of apps via multitasking, high resolution screens and graphic intense gaming which will mean a need to boost RAM too. Running these smoothly will mean a need for beefed up processors to meet future market demand.

Yes, Finally!!!
The problem with Cortex a15 is its power consumption is really high compared to A9 which makes A9 better since its good combination of power and battery life. Snapdragon S4 is better in terms of power consumption and uses some A15 features but its gpu is weak.
Now this a15 quad with good battery life and samsung's own gpu will make it a a perfect and future-proof soc!!

That's what they say but when they release the devices battery life is the same.

Om Nom, 17 Apr 2012I think this could be the new proc for the new iphone, or I... moreDefinitely not the processor for the IPhone 5, it looks likely that when the Galaxy S3 gets a mid life refresh come Q3/4, we'll see the A15 Chip inside of it but my bets are on the Galaxy Note 2 being the most likely candidate and for both international and US versions.

1 GHz Cortex-A8 was in iPad 1 and in iphone 4
Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 in iPad 2 and in 4S
Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 with PowerVR SGX543MP4 (quad-core graphics) in The New iPad and iphone 5

iPhone is so cool that it does not need new processor.
At least iPhone users say that :)
