The war of smartphones is now played using the number of cores that are available for increased clock speed and reduced power.
TI has it new OMAP4470, which the company expects to ship sometime in the first half of 2012. The chip sports four total cores — two ARM Cortex A9 running at up to 1.8GHz and two ARM Cortex-M3 clocked at 266MHz to handle multimedia processing. Its SGX544 graphics core is capable of pushing resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 to as many as three displays, and it supports HDMI output and stereoscopic 3D. The SGX544 is fully DX9, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenCL 1.1, and OpenVG 1.1 compatible.
QC has the dual-core MSM8960 and quad-core APQ8064 — will fully supports Windows 8. The 8960 is currently with OEMs, while the 8064 won't ship until 2012. The updated Snapdragons boast clock speeds of up to 2.5GHz and connectivity options including Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and FM radio. Support for NFC and stereoscopic 3D is also included, an upgraded Adreno GPUs will provide additional multimedia horsepower.
Then there is the grand daddy of all Tegra 3. This chip is amazing featuring 12 GPU cores! The resolution for this new processor does take it to the next level with 1440p! This is two times 720p and is 1.5X better then the latest 1080p. This is indeed next level of processing power and is absolutely a very adequate progression from Tegra 2, which featured only 2 cores.
Most of these chips are using 45 or 28 nm Technology.
