iOS 27 Adds Native Baybayin Keyboard to iPhone: Here is How to Enable It AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE announced GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI

If you’re familiar with the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 that powers the Samsung Wave and Galaxy S including the new Archos Android tablets, then it’s going to be easy to imagine what a dual Cortex-A15 running up to 2.5GHz would look like.

Samsung also announced a few days ago that they’re shipping their new dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 1GHz starting 4th quarter of this year.

The Cortex A15 MPCore processor can deliver up to 5 times the performance of current smartphone processors.

ARM’s dual-core Cortex-A15 MPCore can reach clock speeds of up to 2.5GHz and should be available by 2012. For the meantime, expect a lot of new smartphones and tablet to run the top-of-the-line ARM Cortex-A8 1GHz and possibly new Android smartphones from Samsung running their dual-core Cortex-A9 that’s capable of full HD 1080p playback.

Battery problems kamo? magagawan ng paraan ng mga pinoy yan, may Motolite nmang available, kahit 1 week pa.hehehe

Wow. Mas mabilis pa sa desktop namin sa ofis. hehehe.

Actually, the goal is to build such more powerful processors without increasing power consumption. They said they pulled it off with the dual core A9.

Jeeny · 16 years ago

Well indeed smartphones are not just only getting smarter but they are now becoming more powerful. I think they will have workaround for the battery to support their powerful processors.

understandable na karamihan ng mga comments ay puro question sa battery life. pero kung nagmagandang loob lang sana ang ating blogger na banggitin ang energy consumption nito (tulad ng ibang sites), eh di sana walang uninformed comments mga suki natin dito.

“ARM today announced the Cortex A15 MPCore processor that promises to deliver a 5x performance improvement over today’s advanced smartphone processors, within a comparable energy footprint.”

well,, it’s Technology :)

The good thing is it keeps on improving with almost same price. Now, that’s consumer electronics in general is all about. Most innovative, highly competitive and most exciting industry.

32/28nm? faster processor but I think lesser consumption. How about 3D HD on mobile phones and gaming handhelds =D

@JunAlquis

Well, we haven’t seen much improvement with the battery technology we currently use. Li-Ion batteries aren’t just enough anymore.

JunAlquis · 16 years ago

great power comes with great responsibility. meaning great processor means new greater battery??

range · 16 years ago

correct! dapat yung batteries ang i-improve nila!

The more important question is how will this affect battery life?

Jon · 16 years ago

Do we really need faster processors now? I honestly don’t think so. So what if your phone can shoot and play 1080p? It is a small device, so that much resolution would not matter.

These are mobile devices. What the heck will you do with an uber-fast phone if it would barely last a day?

This news for me won’t matter unless we get better battery performance..

deuts · 16 years ago

I can imagine cguro half day lng itatagal ng mga baterya ng mga yan….:D

mike · 16 years ago

yan nga ginagawa ko. Hinihintay ko muna kase laging may bago. Kaya di ko mapalitan yung nokia 5110 ko.

pogi · 16 years ago

laging magkakaroon ng bago at mas mgandang fon. bka hindi kyo mkbili nyan kung hhintayin nyo yun pnkmganda. hehe

NonesenseLife · 16 years ago

@emman.tama ka,mag antay muna tayo ng updates bago bumile pra worth it ang pera :)

emman · 16 years ago

wow! super bilis na talaga ng mga smart phones nyan… hayzzz kaya mahirap ng bumili ng smartphone na bagong labas kasi may darating pang mas maganda…antayin ko na lang ito…hehehe
