This is a lie. A15 will be out this year from a number of vendors.

Convenient isn’t it, just like how Intel “just slapped” some cores together and outpaced AMD.

This is awesome for us the consumer…competition breeds more devices, more choices. Seems like Qualcomm is preparing for war…

how can they be ”
clearly the leader with its next gen CPU ” with a CPU thats not even out on the market?

I think we already see way too many qualcomm underperforming devices with alarmingly poor visual or graphic processing power. This is why nVidia is king when it comes to this concern plus nvidia is really agressively penatrating the market due to its strategy of creating cutting edge SoC’s. People love power, as well as smart use of it with little waste and nVidia is going into crazy scientist type of research with insane enthusiasm and drive to be on top by creating most advanced chips outthere. They invented the graphics chip which is today the most complex and advanced silicone on the planet. Qualcomm is playing it safe and that is extremely boring and uninteresting to the mainstream crowd. I admire nvidia for being such an obsessive compulsive unit like myself, always seeking to better and even top self. Everytime I pickup and test a qualcumm product-its average at best! Always poor in gaming performance. Its good to have competition but world could do without boring average qualcumm.

Tegra 3 is expected to be in a lot of tablet and a few high end phones. Tegra 3 is also used in future HPC super computers. Tegra 3 is used in moon rover. “Single use product” my axx?

Then why not do it? Obviously it is a market that Nvidia is able to exploit and qualcomm is not.

First – The Tegra 3 is cortex A9, not A15. Second – As referenced, Qualcomm ”designs its own ARM-based cores.” It’s called Krait, not A15. Third – Krait processors will be released in early 2012, and A15 will not be seen until mid 2013.

Not to be rude, but not a very relevant point. Qualcomm is clearly the leader with its next gen CPU (Krait) that is optimized for power, 28nm node size, and fully integrated LTE modem. It’s easy to slap four A9′s together to win a quad core marketing advantage…

Well, I like to see the real chip come out and compare to rivals’. Befoe that is only just talk…

what does “single use product” even mean?

A15 of qualcomm is 3.3 DMIPS
A15 of ARM is 3.5 DMIPS

Dere stuffs crizap man, buyz our stuffs. I’d have to say this is a pretty weak argument against a very powerful product. I understand where Qualcomm is coming from, but to say its a “single use product” is a little weak.
