Desktop CPU manufacturers transitioned to multi-core processor architectures five years ago to
address the growing performance demands and the exponential growth of power consumption
of single core processors. By using multiple cores the CPUs of today can complete more work
faster, and at lower power, than their single core predecessors.
Mobile processors are facing the same performance and power challenges. People use their
mobile device much like they use their PC, and expect a similar level of capabilities – while
maintaining and increasing battery life. Mobile use cases such as HD video playback, streaming
video and audio, multitasking, browsing the web, 3D gaming, and 3D interfaces are stretching
the capabilities of current single core mobile processors.
In order to further increase the performance, and extend battery life, mobile devices will
transition to multi-core CPUs.
