Nvidia Tegra Dual Core processors explained!



While 1 GHz processors have become commonplace in the smartphone industry, the next step clearly brings dual core processors into the mix. The traditional thinking has been that these processors will be extremely power hungry and thus inefficient for mobile devices. To prove this wrong the CEO of Nvidia has come forward and explained the inner workings on the chips. Click the read more link for an explanation of the picture and a link for the complete document.
As you can see here ( you can click the picture to expand it), the dual core processor work at a lower frequency than the single core for the same task and in the end require 40% lesser power! The document is very interesting and puts everything in its places. I advise to familiarize with this PDF file (7 MB, English). Whether you want it or not, but dual core processors will become a norm for mobile devices with multi-core solutions (4, 8 and more) to come. It becomes a necessity.
