NovaThor L8580 is built with the modern 28nm process and ST-Ericsson claims it allows speed "normally reserved for the PC market,” as well as 35% reduction in power consumption compared to leading ARM-based chipsets at similar frequencies...

a9 can't outmatch s600 or s800...i guess

Guess is right. Smaller processors as far as I know should only expect a lower power consumption at the same clock speed as far as I know.

sony is already using the snap dragon S4 in the Z bro lol but hey whos to say they wont consider ST in the future, that is if the S800 doesn't already have that spot ;)

its about time qualcomm has some competition from someone other than Sammy!

I don't think ST - Ericsson (Joint venture between ST Microelectronics and Ericsson) belongs to Sony. Sony Ericsson was a joint venture between Sony and Ericsson and Sony bought the share of Ericsson in that particular venture not the Ericsson company itself.

@ sonofzeus
Sony got nothing to do with ST ericsson anymore,they are both different companies

Interesting derivate.

Now I'd like to see the A7 from the big little configuration, put into a 12 core 1.4Ghz SoC :p
I think the optimal solution is yet to be found

The 6.44" Togari might use this beast. Remember the rumour that "neither qualcomm nor nvidia is in the mix"?

I was thinking the same thing maybe sony already had some inside info to make that statement.
Before this news i was almost certain it would be the exynos

This is impressive...
Global LTE ...great
28nm great for batter consumption.
power VR sgx544 great...

wassup Qualcomm?

Cortex-A9... Very bad for power consumption.
