Texas Instruments Announces Multi-core, 1.8GHz OMAP4470 ARM Processor for Windows 8
The company has just announced a new addition to its OMAP 4 family of ARM SoCs, with the 1.8GHz OMAP4470. TI's new chip is powered by a pair of 1.0GHz ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore engines, as well as two, 266MHz ARM Cortex-M3 cores that handle multimedia duties. According to the company, this multi-core structure will enable faster web browsing and more frugal power usage, while putting the OMAP4470 in square competition with quad-core chips like NVIDIA's Kal-El and Intel's latest Sandy Bridge line.
The SoC was designed for tablets, netbooks and smartphones running Android, Linux, or the next version of Windows, and can support a max QXGA resolution of 2048 x 1536, and up to three HD displays. There's also a single-core PowerVR SGX544 GPU capable of running Direct X 9, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenVG 1.1, and OpenCL 1.1. T

Very nice power. Hopefully they will make new mobile batteries to accommodate the additional usage.

Pretty cool news.
My new upgrade
Looks like a nice little processer, though I laugh at the Intel "Kal-el" cause in 3 years "Kal-el" will be nothing, but named for superman...
