Quad Core Processor



It is common knowledge that Google is planning to release the next Nexus phone with a brand new Operating System i.e Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 2.4) by the end of 2011.

Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has adumbrated a probable affiliation with Google for manufacturing the next CPU (possibly, quad-core)for Google's next smartphone.

At Nvidia's earning call on May 12th, the CEO said- "We're working very closely with Google on Ice Cream Sandwich, and it's a very important new generation of operating system based on starting from the Honeycomb base and I'm expecting it to be really terrific. And so we're working very closely with the Google team, and Tegra will be surely be wonderful for Ice Cream when it comes. We're really excited about the work that they're doing on Ice Cream. And I can't comment too much more other than that, but we're working very closely with their teams on the Ice Cream Sandwich. And as all of these products — they will come to the market when they're great, and I'm certainly expecting them to be great on this year."

This may not seem to be such a big thing for the Average Joe out there but, for the geeks, the new Tegra 3 will be heaven-on-earth. It would be the world's first mobile quad-core CPU. It will also be featuring the new 12-core Nvidia GPU with support for 3D stereo. And, it goes without saying that Tegra 3 will support a new form of High Definition called Extreme HD which has a resolution of 2560 X 1600 and will be at least 5 times faster than the previous iteration of the Tegra series by Nvidia.

So, if you're one of those people who were awed by the first generation of smartphones having a 1Ghz processor and had bought those and were then disappointed by the release of dual-core smartphones, y'all have something to look forward to!

With a CPU five times faster than a Tegra 2 and running Ice Cream Sandwich(Android 2.4), the Nexus 3 is starting to look like a dream come true for all Android fans

I'll just upgrade to it when it comes....no point waiting.

Because once N3 comes, N4 will be in the wings liao....

Nexus One ( Single Core ) > Nexus S ( Single Core + SGX GPU ) > Nexus 3 ?

I feel quad core is a bit far fetched when they still haven't even got to grips with dual core.

I think the most likely outcome is a SoC refresh possibly something like a Tegra 2.5

Looking at Nvidia's roadmap, it's a distinct possibility in this case. Quadcore I mean.

May be possible. Seems like Google's trend is to rotate the production of their flagship Nexus phones amongst the different major Android manufacturers. HTC, Samsung. Who's the next largest Android manufacturer? Left with Sony Ericsson, LG, Motorola? The other 'not-so-significant' Android manufacturers like Dell, Acer less likely, but maybe too? Amongst all these LG and Motorola seems like the most likely two.

Just what I think though. Maybe it doesn't even work this way (I'm just assuming Google rotates manufacturers) or Google has other plans. Correct me if I am wrong.

from wad i noe, 1 of the reason y they switched from htc to samsung is that after releasing nexus one, htc released desire which is almost the same wif nexus one but better in terms of specs. i dunno how true is that. just something i heard from a fren.
