An interesting tidbit of news appeared on the web. Tegra 3 the current SoC from NVIDIA used in mobile phones has 12 shader cores. Now meet the product under codename Wayne .. at CES the Tegra 4 will be announced, but Chiphell has posted some interesting information. If the leak is to be true then Tegra 4 (codename Wayne) will be a quad-core Cortex-A15 (with a fifth, low-power companion core), with a 72-core GPU — six times more than Tegra 3.The Tegra 4 SoC would get a six-fold of graphics processing power compared to the current generation, 72 Shader processors. It doesn't stop there though. 



Tegra 4 will apparently be capable of outputting 1080p @ 120Hz, full hardware encode/decode for video up to 2560×1440 (1440p), and a maximum output resolution of 3820×2160 (4K).

From the looks of it the GPU is assisted by a four core Cortex A15 processor and an additional small energy efficient core based on Cortex A7.  Interesting stuff, the chip is to be made on a 28nm HPL process and may hit the market sometime next year.

Also this slidedeck should be considered suspicious at the very least okay ?
