			<description><![CDATA[All the more reason for Intel to grab an ARM license and get into this game while it is brewing for handset, tablet, ultra-light PC market which continues to erode the PC market. With their design expertise and fab technology, this is a SURE Win for them. Ego aside. In fact, AMD should have jumped into this before as you can see nVidia has done fairly well in it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@guideX I know all that and I know krait is faster than A9. Yes, throughout 2012 most manufacturers will go for dual-core krait chips but if they want a quad-core chip then they'll go for kal-el and kal-el+ even if they're A9 based. Samsung already showed a tablet running kal-el and ZTE has one too. TI doesn't have any quads in its 2012 roadmap, samsung probably has but won't sell it to others, and as I said quad kraits won't come until very late 2012, early 2013. Tegra 3 and tegra 3+ won't beat dual-core krait in sales numbers but they'd have some design wins nevertheless.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Qualcomm has more IP, licensing rights and experience than TI, Samsung and Nvidia combined. Remember when the 1Ghz QSD8250 was like the only chip in use throughout 2010? That's because while Nvidia, TI and Samsung just copied the ARM A8 reference, Qualcomm actually competed and made Scorpion, now they are releasing Krait, it will destroy A9 but possibly be beaten by A15 which is scheduled for release in 2013 so there is another year for Qualcomm to completely dominate.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The rest of my previous post: As ajvitaly mentioned, dual-core krait devices will come about 6 months after tegra 3 so they are not direct competitors. By then it would go up against the (probably) 28nm tegra 3 with higher clock speed. It would still be a "higher IPC vs. more cores" situation, but this time krait won't have a frequency advantage. We shall wait and see what the outcome would be.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It doesn't automatically mean that it would always be faster. In single and dual threaded situations dual-core krait will be faster but in heavy multi-tasking situations and heavily threaded apps tegra 3 will perform better. Initial krait based chips will be 1.5-1.7 GHz and dual-core. Quad-core models with speeds ranging from 2.0 to 2.5 GHz will come much later, 4Q 2012-1Q 2013 which means devices based on them will come out no sooner than 2Q/3Q 2013, and by then it would have to compete against the 28nm quad-core A15 based wayne...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Did you read the article in question? Krait improves IPC by 33% over Cortex A9, in addition to the obvious clock increases. Obviously both Krait and Tegra 3 is by far enough for any reasonable usage scenario today but Krait represents a generational shift where Tegra 3 is essentially a refresh. Shrinking to 28nm won't change that, though obviously Nvidia has more stuff in the pipe as well.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As I said, Nvidia is going to die shrink Tegra3 to 28nm (hence, Tegra3+ on their roadmap) and release it with higher clock speeds to stay competitive vs. what will be out in mid 2012. Krait isn't going to leapfrog Tegra3, and being six months after T3 and six months before T4 will make it difficult for Krait to gain significant traction in the tablet space.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This snippet doesn't paint the whole picture, go to Anandtech to read up on the new architecture in more detail. In short it's not just higher clocks, Krait also offers massively improved IPC as well as a built-in baseband which supports both CDMA, GSM, WCDMA and LTE. That alone is going to make it hard to beat. Tegra 3 will definitely make it faster to market, maybe by as much as 6 months, but much like Tegra 2 it's not going to be anywhere near the best-in-class level SoC once Qualcomm, TI and Samsung gets rolling.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Krait dual core sounds like it will be ultra competitive in the smart phone space. But Krait is going to have problems gaining significant traction in tablets; Tegra3 will be 6 months ahead of Krait AND according to Nvidia's roadmap they will counter Krait with Tegra3+ - likely a 28nm shrink of Tegra3.]]></description>
