Nvidia Races Past Intel (Yes, Intel) With Quad-Core Chip

I am still not sure what the target market for Kal-El is. Nvidia seems to be having an identity crisis where they're using an architecture normally reserved for lower power mobile operations and ramping it up to try & make it compete with desktop offerings. It's not powerful enough, nor does it have the compatibility to compete with x86. At the same time it probably uses too much power to stick in a phone or possibly even a tablet.

Impressive but in fairness to Intel, that is a 2006 chip they're benchmarking Kal-El against
