Wow, August is a lot earlier than I expected. And that roadmap looks quite nice too.
Project Kal-El:
- World's first mobile quad-core CPU
- New 12-core NVIDIA GPU, with support for 3D stereo
- Extreme HD – 2560 x 1600
- 5x Tegra 2

[...] Today at Mobile World Congress (MWC), we demonstrated this little beauty running in an Android tablet. We not only showed that it was alive. We showed it browsing the Web, running games and streaming amazing video. This wasn’t your average amazing video. It was 1440p video content running on a 2560×1600 panel. That will enable mobile devices to output to the highest resolution monitors or tablets equipped with a 10.1-inch display with 300 DPI. I should mention, in passing, that this is the first mobile quad-core processor. And that it contains a new 12 core GeForce GPU. Our customers are getting samples now, and they’re planning production in August. While demonstrating Project Kal-El was exciting, we also gave a glimpse of our roadmap here at MWC. It includes Projects codenamed Wayne, Logan, and Stark, coming out in a steady one-year cadence over the next three years. You might well ask, What on earth can be done with nearly 75x improvement in performance over Tegra 2 that Stark will provide in 2014? Our customers and partners have already indicated that they’re confident they can use everything we give them. [...] |

During the session, Carmack said that, despite its added power, Kal-El will actually be more power efficient than Tegra 2 is today. He said that, while playing that 1440p video in the demo, the CPU and chipset only consumed 400 milliwatts of power. |
