Can't take it that Intel has just past Qualcomm in performance and with 22nm this fall , you will never have it back.
The video shows it and all you can do it lie

BREAKING: Samsung ditches own AMOLED and EXYNOS inside new Galaxy S IV
Yes you just read the title of this message right. Our insider just gave us the first official “unconfirmed” specifications of the next generation Galaxy S, the Galaxy S IV. The Galaxy S IV will no longer use the Samsung EXYNOS processor and according to the latest rumours this processor has overheating issues. Today we can confirm Samsung will use the Snapdragon 600 and it is clocked at 1.9 Ghz which is 0.2 Ghz higher than the HTC One. The Galaxy S IV will have 2 GB of RAM and will come in three variants 16, 32 or 64 GB. As the rumours earlier reported Samsung is going to use a Full HD display. The Galaxy S IV uses a 4,99″ Full-HD SoLux Display we have no information if this is based on LCD3 like the HTC One. But a couple of months ago we posted the first hint regarding Samsung’s LCD factory is ready to produce Full HD panels from early 2013. And we also know Samsung’s AMOLED factory does have many problems with the production of full HD AMOLED screens.

HTC One outdated already? - NVIDIA Tegra 4 takes on Qualcomm...
by ibexx •Feb 26, 2013 10:15 AMWhy didn't Nvidia run the benchmark test on their Tegra 4 reference phone?
Is it because they do not have one for the Tegra 4 (not the T4i) because it, like the Samsung Octa uses A15 cores!!!
Even though the Tegra 4 (A15's) will ship this summer but the A9 powered T4i will ship late this fall, the Tegra 4 does not have a reference design phone and the T4i does.
Can you take a hint of why? - Reply to

Apple is not ready to give up their own designs and Intel will not fab an arm design.
Apple needs a global LTE, so the just annouced modem may be possible.
Intel is shipping the modem the end of the first half this year, Qualcomm will ship theirs 2nd half -
From Broadcom's February 12, 2013 press release;
BCM21892 is now sampling to early access customers, with anticipated production in 2014.

'Apple Is Potentially Facing A Very Rough Two-Year Period,' Says Jefferies
Apple should not sign up for hedge fund manager David Einhorn's preferred stock plan, says Jefferies analyst Peter Misek.
He thinks Apple is going to need its cash to ride out a "potentially very rough two-year period." He prefers dividends and buybacks because they provide flexibility.
Einhorn wants Apple to issued preferred stock that has a perpetual dividend. He has scolded Apple for having a "depression-era mentality" when it comes to cash. He thinks Apple needs to stop hoarding its $137 billion in cash, and start distributing it to shareholders.
Misek sees some big issues confronting Apple in the near term that will require lots of cash on hand:
Capex is likely to double in the next two years, costing an additional $10 billion a year. He thinks Apple is switching to TSMC for chip making, and it will have to finance much of TSMC's operations to support the output Apple needs.
Apple will need cash for iCloud and data centers.
An Apple TV could require Apple to pay more for premium content.
Apple may have to do financing for iPhones in developing markets. Misek explains, "In the hypothetical scenario where all international iPhones were financed by Apple, we believe Apple's cash balance would take a hit of ~$10B due to the company having to cover upfront manufacturing costs and ~$40B of cash collections would be deferred over the next two years. We believe this could affect international markets where pre-paid is more popular and installment plans are being tested."
Improving knock-off phones in China are a threat. We're not sure what to make of this, but Misek says there are "white box" phones that are clones of popular Samsung phones selling for $130-$200. Apple's iPhone costs 4X that. To compete with these phones, he believes Apple will have to do something that could put pressure on the cash.
Basically, Misek agrees with Apple's position on cash.
He sees a turbulent period in the near term and doesn't think Apple should sign up for anything that gives away cash forever. He thinks Apple either doubles its current plan to $90 billion in dividends and buy backs over the next three years, or keeps its current $45 billion in dividends and buybacks, but does it over the next year and a half. -

Qualcomm and MediaTek not interested in octo-core CPUs
by Robert Triggs on Feb 27, 2013
When asked about their development of octo-core processors at MWC both Qualcomm and MediaTek seemed to shrug off the issue, simply stating that they don’t see any real consumer demand for an eight core behemoth. Octo-core processors don’t appear on the product road maps for either company, so Samsung looks to be the only manufacturer planning to put an eight core chip on the market, at least for the foreseeable future.
But with many consumers seemingly more interested in product pricing, battery life, and less intensive CPU tasks like watching videos and browsing the web, than blitzing out 1080p games and CAD design, you can understand why the two tech companies are hesitant to expend resources on designing a balanced eight core CPU. Many of the best selling tablets are still dual core devices, and top of the line smartphones have only just leapt up to quad cores. So if you ask me Qualcomm and MediaTek are reading consumer appetites pretty spot on.
As well as just consumer demand, Qualcomm was especially concerned that simply moving to eight cores isn’t going to improve the user experience. As many applications and operating systems are coded for four cores at most, it clearly doesn’t see a situation where eight cores are going to be useful, and I for one agree.
So then isn’t Samsung wrong to branch out into eight core territory with its Exynos 5 Octa? Well not exactly, Samsung is looking at eight core chips from an energy efficiency perspective, balancing peak performance with minimal battery consumption on less intensive tasks. Check out the MWC demo if you want to see what this looks like in practice.
Bedsides, the two companies are operating on slightly different design philosophies to Samsung. Qualcomm’s Krait CPUs are already designed to be energy efficient by working asymmetrically, and MediaTek products are aimed at slightly lower spec and more energy conservative devices anyway. So neither company would benefit much by moving over to a similar architecture to big.LITTLE.
We’ll have to wait and see which design choices pay off over the next year, bring on the 2013 processor war. -

Americans wanting a Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE of their own have largely been biding their time for a Verizon model. They're still waiting for that variant to show, but US Cellular isn't -- it just started shipping its own variant of the 4G tablet. From all indications, the slate is largely a branding swap that's adapted to the carrier's network, which is good news for prospective buyers who aren't dead set on Big Red. Pricing might give at least some customers pause, however. US Cellular's Note 10.1 LTE costs $500 only when it's paired with at least a 2GB data plan, and $800 no strings attached. With that kind of outlay, you'll want to be fully committed to the concept of pen-based computing before picking one up. -
Intel will ship a global LTE modem, xm7160 , in the first half of this year. For those who do not use qualcomm chips, it will be great.(i.e. Apple)
Chip Shot: Intel's LTE Chipset Captures Top Honors in Signal Research Group's Benchmark Test
Posted by rdder Feb 25, 2013
Research consultancy firm Signals Research Group (SRG) announced findings of their latest benchmark test of LTE chipsets. SRG published the first performance benchmark study of LTE baseband modem chipsets back in December 2011. SRG analyzed the data from a lab based testing approach on the Spirent 8100 LTE test solution while leveraging the 3GPP methodology for conducting UE throughput testing. While recently testing eight LTE baseband chipsets from eight different suppliers, three chipsets took the lead while SRG concluded that Intel’s solution captured top honors.

NVIDIA Tegra 4 Architecture Deep Dive, Plus Tegra 4i, Icera i500 & Phoenix Hands On
by Anand Lal Shimpi & Brian Klug
"Samsung recently disclosed details about its Cortex A15 implementation compared to the Cortex A7, a similarly performing but more power efficient alternative to the A9. In its ISSCC paper on the topic Samsung noted that the Cortex A15 offered up to 3x the performance of the Cortex A7, at 4x the area and 6x the power consumption. It’s a tremendous performance advantage for sure, but it comes at a great cost to area and power consumption. The area side isn’t as important as NVIDIA has to eat that cost, but power consumption is a valid concern." -
here is the same video with a discussion of the results
androidauthorityDOTcom/lenovo-k900-intel-clover-trail-plus-benchmark-161440/
The K900 has been unveiled at CES in Las Vegas, where we got to take Lenovo’s gorgeous device for a quick spin. Now, the Clover Trail+ equipped device has made an appearance at Mobile World Congress, and we were curious to see how Intel’s first dual-core mobile chip is doing in the benchmarks.
The device we got to try was a pre-production model, so it’s possible that the software wasn’t fully optimized, which may explain why the UI occasionally felt sluggish.
We installed v3.1.1 of the AnTuTu synthetic benchmark, which tests memory performance, CPU performance, and graphics, and proceeded to run it on the sleek K900. You can see the process and the results in the video below.
As you can see, the 2.0GHz Clover Trail+ processor that powers the Lenovo K900 is quite a beast. The device managed an impressive 25,138, which is ahead of the quad-core Snapdragon 600, which just made its debut on the HTC One and the Optimus G Pro. The Qualcomm chip managed a very good 22,678 in an earlier test.
{It was pointed out in the comment section that at 3:15 in the video, you will see the score for the Glaxay S4 GT 19505 was 24317 which is ranked 15th, K900 was 5th} - Reply to

Slideshow: Samsung cagey on smartphone SoC at ISSCC
How do you know when to switch between the big bank of A15s and the little bank of A7s, asked the ADI engineer in a counter-punch.
“I am just a circuit engineer, not the software guy--they can explain about this,” he said, again deflecting the question and getting a laugh from the audience.
Samsung’s answers were actually very revealing, according to David Kanter, a blogger and analyst of processor technology. “The fact that the switching is controlled at the software level tells you it’s slow,” he said. -
