HTC undecided about Ice Cream Sandwich update

TechRadar has spoken to HTC about the new Android 4.0 release to see when the firm will be updating its phones to the next level of Google's OS.

"We are excited about the latest update for Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, and are currently reviewing its features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans," said a spokesperson.
"Our goal for Android updates is to give every customer an improved user experience, which means balancing each phone's unique hardware, HTC Sense experience and the Android kernel."

Like UnlikeFiled in: nVIDIA
A teaser video (embedded below) for the forthcoming NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor has leaked out. Codenamed Kal-El, the system-on-a-chip runs a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor, which is accompanied by a fifth Cortex A9 core clocked at 500MHz for running tasks such as web browsing and listening to music. The graphics performance delivered by the 12-core graphics engine helps the processor outperform even Intel’s older Core 2 Duo processors.
The processor is expected to double the performance of NIVIDA’s Tegra 2 for general computing, but it will also deliver three times faster visuals. The Tegra 3 can play video at resolutions of 2560x1440 and power even 30-inch external displays.

Like UnlikeFiled in: CPU
ARM, the British semiconductor company that designs application processors and defines the instruction set that powers every mobile phone on the market, has just announced the Cortex A7. Before we dive into what makes that chip so special, let’s remind ourselves why ARM is a very unique company. It’s best to think of ARM like an architect. They design blueprints that they then sell to companies like Samsung, Texas Instruments, and Apple, who will then use those blueprints to build what’s called a system on chip. ARM creates the blueprints for many things, but they’re most known for their application processors, such as the ARM Cortex A9 that’s in Samsung’s Exynos 4210 and Apple’s A5, and the...

Ultrabook players were hoping Intel would cut them a break with a juicy 50 percent discount on Core i processors to be used in the new notebook form factor.
