Details on the next generation Tegra 4 processor, codenamed "Wayne", leak

NVIDIA has done pretty well on the mobile market with its Tegra 3 processor, and it should be of no surprise to anyone that NVIDIA has been working on the next generation Tegra processor. The company even provided some rough details early last year.
 
However, some detailed information on the next-generation 28nm Tegra 4 leaked today, and it promises six times the power of Tegra 3. Tegra 4 appears to be, according to a leaked slide, a 4+1 quad-core design similar to that of the current Tegra 3. The Cortex-A15-based Tegra 4 has 72 graphics cores and supports dual channel memory. Tegra 4 will also support resolutions of 2560 x 1440 for encode and decode and promises very low power consumption.

Other supported features will include the USB 3.0, making this the first NVIDIA chipset to support the new and faster USB standard.

With CES 2013 kicking off in mere weeks, we should have significantly more details coming in the not-too-distant future.

Its happening on the other side, too, though. Intel have demonstrated Haswell ULV processors running at 8W. Intel are also moving their ATom line to the same tick-tock cycle as their mainstream processors.

I think too many people are looking at ARM and seeing it eclipsing x86. I see it going the same way as when people thought AMD was about to take Intel's crown. It looked like that until Intel hit back.

Never underestimate what Intel can do once they set their minds (and wallets) to it. The myth of "x86 can't be as power-efficient as RISC" has been dispelled. ARM is clambering up below a descending boot.
