Next Snapdragon CPU: 2.5GHz, 75% Less Power
kitamesume:
we are wowing about the power consumption, as you`d see, a couple of us here are discussing that we'd wow IF we see an i7 run on AAA batteries, someone even mentioned he'd wow if it runs on static/kinetic generators(the one used on watches?)
vuzedome:
CPU speed maybe fast but we'll need to see actual benchmarks first.
Xtras:
Hmm, after glancing at that article I just need to ask, why do we need 1080p and 7.1 surround on mobile devices?
2.5 Ghz quad core on a phone. Sounds flashy and all, but is it really practical?
kitamesume:
not really, ppl just keeps demanding ridiculous stuffs one after the other, first they ask for phones that has quality camera, then asks for a phone with a touch screen, then they ask for phones that can play, then they ask phones with internet, then they ask for phones with a huge hdd that can store HD movies, then they ask for a bigger screen that lead to a touchpad style keyboard, now they ask for longer battery life because they asked too much stuff to integrate into their phones and while at it, they requested a monster processor for it. i`m guessing next they'd request for a phone that can do what a laptop can so they could throw their laptop away and just buy a portable screen in case they wanted a big screen...
who wouldnt want a phone with 2.5ghz processor that can play crysis @ 420p res LOL, oh wait, lets add an LED projector to be built into the phone too, FTW for portability! i kind of wonder why there isnt a laptop with a built in projector...

You're thinking too shallow. Just because it's ARM doesn't mean only phones can use them.
It has uses on low power, simple and task-specific servers or portable media players.

The features weren't added just because of demand. They were added because it's financially and technologically feasible for them to do so.

Some of the current phone models already have mini HDMI in them.
