I wrote about the mobile industry for several years, and there is one thing that always surprises me every day: the speed at which these companies are able to make new feel old. Every time something happens and rocks our world, someone in the industry responds "Oh yeah? Well it twice is our new fast! And two times more efficient! Oh, and ours is entirely driven by the laughter of the unicorns ! Beat That! "
And then someone does.
Only three weeks ago, NVIDIA announced its Tegra 3, 1.5 GHz, Quad-core smart phones and tablets. Madness, right? Texas Instruments said its quad-core chip - not just theirs, clocked at 2 GHz
Now is the turn of Qualcomm. Their counter-arguments? 4 cores, running at a theoretical maximum of 2.5 GHz Punch it, Chewie!
