The development of computer technology has developed rapidly since 30 years ago. One aspect that affected the development of this technology is a micro processor which has been dominated by Intel for years, but for the affairs of mobile processors, Intel is not the monarch.
Currently, major players in the arena of micro processors for mobile devices is NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Marvell. All companies are using the ARM architecture to make its mobile chipsets. Now NVIDIA has released Tegra processor 2 which is widely used in consumer electronic products in 2011, as tablet Xoom Motorola, LG Optimus 2X, LG Tab, LG G-Slate, Motorola Atrix 4G, etc.. While Qualcomm took tablets HP Touchpad and Texas Instruments took tablets Playbook RIM.

The real question, why do we need multi-core processors in mobile devices we? and how important is it? The answer is quite brief, so that we can create software that much better. The more meaningful the more powerful core capability of mobile devices to perform high-level software.
Compare with software that is made in year 90 or web sites created in 2000 with all software and web sites that exist today. Improved hardware directly will create quality software is increasing. Conversely good software there would be no meaning if not matched by a qualified hardware.
As if he thought quality software that will be present in the future, 5 or 10 years from now? Clearly, the presence of multicore processors in mobile devices is crucial.

And Kal El comic character whose name is similar to this only the beginning. Nvidia released the ambitious roadmap for the year 2014, with chips named Wayne, Logan and Stark that claimed to offer the processing power 100 times faster than Tegra 2, Nvidia's current flagship processor.

Quoted from PCMag, Thursday (17/02/2011), Kal-El could be a life-style tablet retinal screen-based Apple. So, users can enjoy a 10 inch tablet screen with very high performance.
Apparently, this processor will make the phone into a PC primer for users. Questions were referred to qualified business playing games, where games such as the Great Battle Medieval looks very smooth and realistic in the demo with Kal El.
Then how the power consumption? Carmack promised not higher than Tegra 2. Kal El plan would begin to be used for the tablet in August. As for mobile phones by the end of 2011.
