Current smartphones may suffer from laggy interfaces and stuttering multimedia performance because of weak internal hardware. Fret no more, put away those tissues and slap a smile on that pretty little mouth of yours as such experiences will soon be a thing of the past. The savior? ARM’s new Cortex A5 multi-core processor should certainly take care of all current slowness and then some. Labeled by ARM as “the smallest, lowest power ARM multicore processor capable of delivering the Internet to the widest possible range of devices” means this new processor will have some big shoes to fill and reputations to keep up. Of interest to mobile device junkies, the new A5 processor will be twice as energy efficient as older A9 and A11 chips giving future phones longer run times between outlet tetherings as well as leading to overall smaller devices thanks to a smaller physical footprint. The real kicker is the delivery date which ARM simply states as “this quarter”. Hell yeah! We can’t forget the 1GHz beast also known as Snapdragon. The current hotness for sure. Though I can assure you that once the ARM Cortex A5 multi-core struts it’s stuff, we’re all going to ask: “Snapdragon what?”
In case you were wondering, the chip pictured is not the A5.
