Earlier today our brethren over at Engadget Chinese got to hang out with Huawei Device chairman Richard Yu , who was kind enough to inform us that his company will release a HiSilicon K3V3 chipset -- the follow-up to the current quad-core K3V2 -- in the second half of this year. What's more, much...

Nvidia has unveiled its Tegra 4 processor, a chip that will bring consumers more power in mobile devices and help Nvidia remain competitive in the fast moving mobile market.

LAS VEGAS— Nvidia unveiled its Tegra 4 processor Sunday, a chip that will bring consumers more power in mobile devices and help Nvidia remain competitive in the fast moving mobile market. The Tegra 4 is based on ARM's quad-core Cortex-A15 processor and also packs in 72 graphics processing unit...

One new SoC per year? That's what NVIDIA pledged back in the fall of 2010 and today at its CES 2013 presser, it delivered with the Tegra 4's official unveiling. The chip, which retains the same 4-plus-1 arrangement of its predecessor, arrives with a whopping 72 GeForce GPU cores -- effectively...

What’s more power-efficient? Intel’s Atom, Qualcomm’s Krait, Nvidia’s Tegra, or Samsung’s Exynos 5 Dual? All four SoCs have very different architectures and performance characteristics, and they’re all built on different processes too, making the analysis rather difficult. Fortunately, Anandtech...

When we speak about mobile devices and their processors, ARM is the first and only name that will come to mind. Intel has started making its baby steps into mobile this year…

Late last month, Intel dropped by my office with a power engineer for a rare demonstration of its competitive position versus NVIDIA's Tegra 3 when it came to power consumption. Like most companies in the mobile space, Intel doesn't just rely on device level power testing to determine battery life....

Details of Nvidia’s upcoming Tegra 4 SoC, due early next year, have leaked. If the leak is to be believed, Tegra 4 (codename Wayne) will be a quad-core Cortex-A15 (with a fifth, low-power companion core), with a 72-core GPU — six times more than Tegra 3. At this point we should stress that this...

MediaTek has launched the world’s first quad-core Cortex-A7 system-on-chip, the MT6589. The SoC is low power and is likewise the first HSPA+ platform offering Dual SIM/Dual Active support. As such, it is aimed at Android tablets and smartphones universally, providing a simplified and cheap option...

There's a new player in the quad-core SoC game and it's called the MT6589. MediaTek announced today that it's launching the world's first quad-core Cortex-A7 SoC and gave us the opportunity to take it for a spin -- in prototype form, of course. The MT6589, which includes the aforementioned...
