Laptop Thoughts: Quad-core Coming to Mobile Devices

"It appears that Nvidia plans to shake things up at Mobile World Congress next month, with a new Tegra 3 mobile processor. The chip, according to Engadget and Bright Side of News, will boast a Quad-Core Cortex A9 processor and will hum along at clock speeds up to 1.5-GHz. No doubt the Tegra 3 will find its way into cutting-edge tablets soon."

IF, and that is a REALLY BIG IF, these can also make good use of power, sign me up. I'd love some quad-core horsepower in my phone. But, I already find battery life to be the low end of tolerable, so I'll reserve my enthusiasm a bit.
