These processors would be powered by TI's OMAP and Tegra 3 SoC's equivalent. The increase in the number of cores means more energy which in turn means better performance. Industry experts have estimated that the power increase would be in the range of 300 to 500%. Power saving features would also be embedded in the chip which is a great plus.
Companies including Samsung, Sony, Meizu, HTC, Motorola and LG are some of the companies that are in works to bring in products with these new processors. Motorola
