Tegra 3 is a terrible implementation of A9, maybe Samsung's won't be bandwidth constrained. A15/Krait is fast but not twice as fast as a A9 core assuming sufficiently threaded workload and similar clockspeed.

True. Exynos CPU's generally have 10-15% more performance compared to the competition. Of course it would still be more than enough but I thought it would be logical to use A15 from now on, because it is the future.

I never said anything about one being better than the other. All I said was that by end of year all new phones will be quad-core similar to how end of 2011 all new phones were dual core. (refering to med to high-end, not cheapos)

This is a Vita Killer.. and so is the next iphone, lg, and nokia..

what nice specs.. if it comes with tv out/hdmi and can use bluetooth controllers.. it can be used as a home console to.. :)

My point was that A15 quad cores would be overkill at this point and you proved my point by saying they were still old A9. I didn't know it was already announced though, sorry about that, my mistake. So we don't disagree at that point.

Awesome. That's Samsung. I would have preferred Exynous 5000 series cpu that's dual core 2.0Ghz that was shown a while back since Android 4.0 won't ever fully utilize a quad core. Then again, it guarantees you future updates (Android 5.0)

Exactly what I was thinking. My contract is 24 month, so it should end just as soon as S4 comes out hopefully. If around that time Samsung annihilates all other competitors like it did with S2, S4 will probably make a hole in my bank account for another 2 years.

I believe the PS Vita CPU can run at 2GHz, but it will not be allowed to due to battery and heat limitations. Also, note that the GPU is quad core. 

Yup :) CPU is downclocked to 800-1000MHz

Same here. I just got my S2 last March/April, so I'm good for a while still.
