Taking a page from TI's OMAP processors I see [1]. I expect that AMD will go this route sooner or later by putting a Bobcat and Bulldozer core on the same chip, but I've heard that while the Linux scheduler can deal with that, Windows can't yet. Don't know if NVidia will have trouble with that with Windows 8.<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP</a>

As a mobile game developer, I am super excited about the future of gaming on mobile after looking at the spec sheets for this chip and the new PowerVR series 6 GPUs. I am in constant amazement that my phone-shaped pocket computer is a more capable gaming device than my PC of less than tens years ago.

I wonder how 12-core GPU compares with the xbox360's 6 year old GPU? (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_hardware#Graphics_processing_unit" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_hardware#Graphics_proc...</a>)
