If you thought you could multi-task on your smartphone now, you ain’t seen nothing yet! ARM has announced their upcoming Cortex™-A15 MPCore™ Processor. It’s a low power chip that ranges from single to quad core processors for multiple hardware applications, but we are mostly interested in what we can slap into our next super-powered smartphones. That being said, for smartphone applications, the Cortex A15 will run anywhere from 1-1.5GHz in single or dual core configurations. ARM is claiming their Cortex-A15 MPCore processor will be capable of delivering speeds up to 5x that of today’s most powerful smartphones.
The speed of these releases are crazy considering we just heard about Samsung using the ARM Cortex-A9 that can do dual-core at 1GHz a few days ago. It’ll be exciting to see how well these fair in both power and battery life as ARM claims an even better low-power range. Below is a quick snippet from ARM’s site regarding the Cortex’s usage in a mobile environment.
