Here is Anandtech's take of the next Tegra!

It seems that devices may have this as early as August of this year!

Yep, in only 5 months, we may be seeing an ultra-mobile quad-core SoC with performance comparable to Core2Duo's (according to Nvidia)! If true, this will certainly offer performance comparable to ATOM and usher in a new wave of laptops, and tablet apps capable of replacing legacy x86.

I don't know about you, but an ultra-thin laptop that has 12hour battery life sounds pretty enticing! Even a tablet with a keyboard dock, or a BT keyboard/mouse will be enticing.

Expect Android, Ubuntu, and possibly MeeGo to lead the charge in this radical productivity paradigm shift.

While Android allows for mouse/keyboard, traditional linux has (I'm assuming) better productivity support. But with the fast development of Android, and many services being pushed through the web, an Android tablet may be quite competent for productivity.

Oh, brave new world!
