We are about to see mobility going to a whole new level as new multi-core processors will bring more speed and memory to mobile phones. The ARM® Cortex™-A5 MPCore™ processor was announced by the company that makes just about all the CPUs for the mobile devices that we have come to rely upon.

You can read all the juicy details here. And if you are able to understand the whole NEON 128-bit SIMD and Mali-VE6 video engines, I congratulate you. I will remain happy with the fact that my phone. Meanwhile, I will marvel in the fact that they are able to dramatically increase the performance of the processor while decreasing power consumption, which is very important in mobile devices.

Another awesome feature of this new chipset, is that it will be compatible with applications developed for previous chips in the Cortex line. This will allow for rapid inclusion of the chip into new devices because there will be minimal software development.

Okay, I think I've satiated my need for geekiness for today!
