Wow I kinda feel sad for all the people getting the phones shown at CES.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/24/nvidia-tegra-3-equipped-with-1-5ghz-quad-core-madness-teased-b/
This is what I said yesterday in some debate thread about "Nexus S vs. Vibrant 4G." You can't win the hardware war, you may have the best phone for a week... then something better will be announced. Better off just sticking with a Nexus S or whatever device and wait for a Tegra 3 (Quad Core) on a Nexus device
i'd bet that it will come later than Fall 2011. wouldnt they want to reap the benefits of all their work for the tegra 2 before immediately obsoleting it less than 6 months apart? cant wait though!

I think Nvidia will try and get this out asap. The chip companies are at war with one another and the competition is just heating up. The tegra2 is nice but it will quickly be outmatched by the next wave of dual core chips like Orion, Qualcomm and OMAP. Personally I think it's great because in the end the consumer will win with so many quality choices on the market.
This right here is quad-core.

Oops, missed that part my bad
Ugh come on people, are we going to go through this drill every time a new chipset comes out? Fine.
Chipsets are HARDWARE, not software. nVidia may announce Tegra3 in the fall, but it will be 2012 until PHONES with that chipset are released. And before that happens, nVidia will be well on their way to releasing Tegra4. That's how companies work, they have to stay 1-2 steps ahead of the game to survive.
So no need to feel bad for people buying Tegra2 phones today; that chipset won't be obsolete for a year.
And just to clear things up, the word "obsolete" seems to be thrown around quite easily nowadays. A chipset currently in mass production doesn't become "obsolete" until a phone with a newer chipset is in mass production. It doesn't become obsolete when a newer chipset is just starting to be talked about. Otherwise heck, Tegra3 is probably already obsolete because I'm sure nVidia's cutting-edge R&D unit is already working on the Tegra4 specs.
Anyway, I quit.

Agreed but I'd take it a step further and say that tech isn't obsolete until new tech is widely accepted as the standard and that won't happen in my opinion until trgra2 doesn't devour battery life lol

this reminds me about how the whole "64 bit" architecture for desktop processors were hyped..
back then, i felt that the leap would be SOO HUGE that the world wud come to a halt at the speed we could compute things...
i remember telling my friends .. "wait a few months more. .. 64 bit computers are coming ..and with them, special types of hardware that will allow u to run ENTIRE games from your RAM"
64 bit computers came and probably something else is in the make now ..
they probably HAVE impacted massively in someway technical in some research lab ..
but for the end user.. the 'umph-factor' wasn't GREAT ..i'm not saying it was absent ... just ... well felt more marketing hype than anything else

Sort of, but not exactly. Multi-core architectures do significantly increase performance. A 2.4GHz Dual core VS a 3.0GHz single core will win ever time because it can handle more processes per second. I'm no engineer but my understanding would be that the only time a 3.0GHz single core would beat a dual would be at below 1.5GHz because it would then be running the same number of processes per second. I could be wildly wrong about that last part so don't quote me on it but the first part is true.
In a couple of weeks the Galaxy S III (i9300) is going to be launched with a quad core 1.5Ghz processor.
Given how slow Samsung have been to actively market the 7.7 does this mean the tablet is going to become redundant even before it's gained any sales traction?
While I love my 7.7 I'm realistic in that it's not been a sales success (mostly due to Sammies "too many products...no focus" current marketing strategy).
Discuss
I think samsung is trying to find a niche in the mobile market. Almost anything that is 'successful' to them, they will make revisions of them.
like samsung galaxy tab p1000 -> becomes 7.0 plus
or samsung s -> s2
and the 7.7, and 5.3 note was like test for them .. but it seems note was more successful.. and that 7.7 seems to release late, maybe due to the law suite with apple?
Personally i do like to see note 2
As for the sgs3, i will only consider it if it have sdcard slot + removable battery.
quad core means little for me.
Galaxy Tab 7.7
I changed from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy Tab 7.7.
I dont know why the Galaxy Tab 7.7 should become no sale success. if you compare it to other tabs you can see that the Hardware (beside the camera module) is very good.
I am satisfied with this tablet. If there will be the ICS update i think the android sofware will work much better than Honeycomb.
If you compare it to the Galaxy Note and the upcoming Galaxy S3 you will notice that the tab ist still another formfactor with its 7.7.
After using my tab for 2 weeks i dont want to miss ist, especially for media and internet. Besides this i am using it as cellphone too to telephone.
If i think of the 4,x inch Display of my S2 or the Note display i think the tab is still the better choice.
And due to its size it is still mobile enough to take it for everyday use.
Hope the 7.7 will get the ics update soon and find some more devs here in forum...
Id also like to see a Galaxy Note 2 and a Tab 2 7.7 but the new SuperAMOLED manufacturing and a bigger battery life. Probably the next Tab 7.7 will come with a quadcore A15.

How do you know that the GSIII is going to have a quad core chip in it? Until it is officially announced, any specs we may think we know or expect the GSIII to have are nothing more than rumors, speculations, and theories.
Don't get ahead of yourself here.
Until then, this conversation is pointless.

Well, I was joking. This kind of thread is rather useless so I should refrain from reading or commenting, really.
Cripes chaps it's not that difficult to follow.......
The 7.7 was announced almost 8 months ago and in many markets the 3G version is still not even available.
As Sammie themselves (and other manufacturers) are now starting to announce quad core products it'll set expectation in the marketplace that quad core is now the base level.
This discourages buyers from buying dual core products.
Fewer sales means developers less inclined to work on a product that's perceived as out of date.
We, as owners of 7.7 devices get fewer ROM options.
Nottin' really... galaxy tab 2 is coming here at Singapore last time I heard they're also putting quad core in there...

Correct me if I'm wrong ... would a quad core chip even present much of an upgrade over a dual core, considering the application? Seems like overkill to me.
Maybe you have a point there... but its a matter of adopting to the newest tech, soon most apps would be so heavy that you'd req a quadcore processor...

That's why I still haven't purchased it and sticking with my Overclocked original Tab. Hopefully Samsung will come with a 7.7 (2) that will be popular enough
But definitely at this point with little custom ROM available, no CM, and ICS not yet there it makes little sense to upgrade (I might for the battery life since my Tab after 18months starts to show signs of tiredness)
On top of it there is not even a GSM LTE version available (Actually there s in Korea but with different bands form the "usual" ones used in Europe and US)
Like with the GS2 us in the USA on AT&T and to wait around 6 months for the phone to get to our stores. I work at a AT&T dealer and our Samsung rep said that Samsungs plan this time is to release all of them at the same time around the globe. Hopefully that is true.
My concern is that I don't see anywhere that says the Exenos quad core doesn't support LTE, which means we'll get a slower processor. Probably the Spandragon or something similar.
I love the dev community in the i777 forums and the cool thing is a lot of people are porting the ROMs over from the i9100 to the i777 since we have similar hardware. Don't see that being possible if the international version doesn't have LTE. I'm gonna wait a bit after it's released and see which might be the better option from a dev support side. I may even wait for the next nexus seeing as task650 keeps my phone running awesome....so no reason to fork out the door anyway hell I have my captivate running almost as fast as my i777 running AOKP on it.
I think there may be some truth to Samsung waiting until May to release the SIII in order to have a global release. But, we may have to wait a little longer. We will have to wait until Thursday to find out how long we will have to wait. I hope not too long.

If they can't manage to do a global release they will never be able to compete with Apple on a single handset. In volume yes... but not for a single model. Hopefully this is the reason why they are launching it the way they do it. If Apple can release an iPhone on most US carriers on launch day I don't see why Samsung can't.

I agree. But usually by now ( few days away from release, had this been an iphone) we would see screen shots of different carriers internal databases confirming a release date or intent to to carry the phone. Hope something like this pops up today for GS III!

Apple can release an iPhone on most US carriers because it has a lot more power over the carriers than Samsung and android in general does. For iOS carriers can't make any modifications at all to the hardware or software, but they can and they will for Android devices

I don't see the US getting the phone after the announcement I think the reason Samsung had delayed the announcement was manufacturing delays and patent trolling. As for the dual core vs quad core the dual core is benching higher than the quad in a lot of categories. I think this whole announcement is not going to live up to the hype everyone is generating.

Where did you read this?
There is no _way_ Samsung would sell a CPU or upgraded mainboard separately for an existing product. What would the incentive be for users to buy the next model phone?
It would also necessitate a different build of the OS.
The chipset is not user replaceable!
Totally absurd If you ask me!
Quad-core Note 2 on the other hand, more likely...

Where do you read this. Are you talking out the side of your head or engadget.
That article mentioned something about manufactors being able to connect the new chip with the dual core chip because the chips are pin to pin to reduce cost.
Lol this is funny.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
intruda119 is correct, it's on factory basis this info is meant.
You can in theory, install the new chip on existing designes, but most likely, you need to change other things as well, to make full use of the power within the new SOC.
Brilliant, instead of like, Intel, that every new CPU they release you need to look up a new motherboard....ugh...
i don't remember where did i read it but yesterday my friend told me the same thing and i though while not so sure as i am not that knowledgeable in the technical term but i know that the 2 chipsets are based on the cortex-9.
i think samsung would make a very wise decision by doing this it will give an more amazing image when it is thinking that far for the costumers. i dont think any one that have a note with its beautiful big screen will get the SG3 because of the smaller screen and the next note is not coming untill 6 months in my opinion and when it arrive they could make it with a new design and better screen and the same chipset and it will sell big time.
this is my opinion i knowed once i posted this many people will say it is stupid but i want to know if it technically possible. because i am trying to choose between the one x and the galaxy note. i will not wait for the SG3 because it needs more than a month to arrive in my country and i need a bigger screen that 4.0 inch. this is my first android device and i would like it to last for as long as possible.
practically you can replace but the problem will be with the software side....
could samsung work on the software
guys i am just bringing a topic of discussion. i am a noob in android. i have been using nokia for many years started from the baby nokia till the n97.
It's totally impossible. Yes, the 32nm quad is pin compatible with the 32nm dual Exynos, however the Note has the 45nm Exynos so it's not compatible at all.

I wouldnt think it would be as easy as legos. Pretty sure theres some type of difficult soldering involved.
Would be nice but companies make most money off incrementel updates and gimmicks. Thx apple for the blueprint.

What's the advantage of having overclocked 0.2ghz processor? As rightly said above, its battery time that'd suffer. And by the way, as far as the internals are the same, we are not screwed. Like both int'l and ntt versions have exynos 4412 so extra 0.2ghz doesn't matter at all!

It's not overclocked. the 1.6ghz one is revision 2.0 while we have revision 1.1. That 1.6 is their base clock speed afaik, meaning they can overclock to even higher than our max of 1.8ghz. (I might be wrong though)
EDIT: Maybe one month after it's released in japan, they'll make i9310 (with 1.6ghz 2gb ram) And after another 3 months, they'll make i9315 (1.6ghz 2gb with mali t604).
What would you expect ? Samsung is known for making a big*** amount of variants for their flagships,just check the number of variants for the S2..Some of them got HD screens.

Hold that thought. Wait and see what samsung decides to do with the lack of support for exynos chipsets situation. I'm so mad about this. I think a lot of people are. Afterall I bought the S3 for the good hardware and the developer friendliness of samsung devices. Atleast that's what I knew before buying it. Now I see it's a whole different story. I personally am gonna wait like 2 months max. They fail, I'll sell this and get the next nexus maybe. What say? Also S4 chipset much better than exynos in all possible ways. Also I read somewhere in XDA some time back that Qualcomm chipsets are easier to deleop for atm. The only thing here is it's going to be an LG... an LG =\
I really hope their wheels start spinning with the Nexus release, coz as far as i know... developement is most active on HTC and Samsung smartphones.
You paid 500 for the S3 that's still the same S3. The fact that they released a slightly better variant on the other side of the world doesn't make your device worse.
I think people shouldn't care so much about owning the best. This is how the world is: they keep releasing better stuff so fast, you can't always have the best. And it doesn't really matter, it's just a small difference, our S3 is fast and that S3 will be fast.
Instead of having an S3 and paying so much money for another S3 which is barely different, buy a Galaxy Nexus which is much cheaper. Dual core and much smoother then all S3's...
It is the SAME CPU, SAME internals, it is OVERCLOCKED, nothing special.

Agreed, Just because something new comes out it doesn't mean the original is useless.
If you are going to buy a top spec mobile phone then you need to realise it's outdated the moment you take it home. You buy the best you can, with the money you have, at the time you need/want to buy it.
or you can sit back and wait for the latest and fastest device and end up waiting for ever as the next one will always be better.

They don't fail. They hold more than 30% of the world's mobile phone market. More than anyone else. And the S4 PRO compared to the current Exynos 5250 paired with the Mali-T604 is already beat. As you can't compare old to new. That's the latest Exynos vs. Snapdragon processor comparison. Samsung hasn't really failed us. Just wait and let them fix their mistakes.

Forget this one but i9305 was really a "in your face! early adopters" by Samsung!
i wouldn't even bother with the japanese variant. launcher looks horrendous. not to mention its just a minute upgrade
Software rules the roost with phones now, most phones are capable of doing similar things and only software seperates them from the pack.
I will be happy with my SIII for a long time to come i believe especially with the development community.
Would you be happy with your SIII if you'd never read about this new revision? I think so.

By fail I meant failure to provide proper support for exynos by a month or two, and not failure as a smartphone manufacturer. I'm well aware that they hold a huge chunk of the world's mobile phone market. Exynos 5250 is a beast there's no denying that. Don't get me wrong. I love the exynos chipsets. They performs better than any other chipset of its equivalent generation. It's just the lack of support that's getting me. I miss using smooth n properly optimized aosp/aokp roms. The one's there are available now are nowhere near to the nexus in terms of smoothness despite having a hardware that's more than twice as much powerful.
Not bashing samsung. In-fact I used to be hardcore HTC. But the main reason [or atleast 75%] why I switched to samsung is for the exynos chipset. I'm really hoping they provide proper support for it soon.
Yeah when they don't provide the documentation I understand why you're mad, I am too. I would like a fully buttery AOSP/AOKP ROM
