While we very often companies like Qualcomm , Nvidia , Intel or write some other processor manufacturers, and many lesser-known names pushing more and more into the foreground. NXP is not in such unknown because usually the processors used in many newcomers or middle class devices installed. But now the company has introduced the Nova Thor L8580. It is a fast up to 3 GHz quad-core processor based on the ARM Cortex-A9, which is manufactured in 28-nm process. This is to achieve a performance that is usually only true of computers. It aims at reducing energy consumption by up to 35% may be lower.

At launch it will offer a 2.5 GHz processor with 600 MHz eQuad fast PowerVR SGX544 GPU, LTE modem, Bluetooth, GPS and Glonass, FM tuner, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Miracast and NFC. So basically everything you need in a high-end Smartlet with high resolution display. Concrete benchmarks against which you can actually compare the performance then with other processors, it is unfortunately not yet. Maybe you will see first reference devices at the Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, ​​on which benchmarks can be executed.

While we are currently slowly but surely working on the 2-GHz clock frequency brand, ST-Ericsson skin here the same time a shovel on top of 2.5 to 3 GHz. If the energy savings, but can actually be achieved, there must be a few more MHz.
