As you might know, Qualcomm earlier this week have announced that their Snapdragon mobile processors are going to receive a new and very powerful family member called the Krait. The new microarchitecture is going to be available in a number of variations including a quad-core model but there is one problem: it will only be available to manufacturers towards end of this year and early next year.
As soon as that announcement took place at MWC’11, NVIDIA comes along and pretty much say, “Hey, we got one too and we sending it to our partners NOW,” through this announcement. Dubbed as “Project Kal-El” (isn't that the birth name of Superman?), the new quad-core mobile processor said to contain 12-core GPU and offers five times more power than the current Tegra 2. The company is pretty bullish about its new chip and claimed that consumers might be able to see products based on the new quad-core mobile processor as early as this August. That’s not all, NVIDIA have also revealed that they are already working on even more powerful processors that are scheduled for release on annual basis for the next few years.
Check out two demo videos of Kal-El, right after the jump.
