Imagine the speed of all those simulators would run at... one might even have to inject a few loops to slow them down!

Nah, there are plenty of a/v treatments/filters that can be added to the chain to improve the aesthetics... and a p2p multiplayer layer... cheats, hacks... and even more powerful systems to emulate.
I am still thinking about my dosbox/emulator is running too fast

Was going to start a new thread but found this one...

Quad core demo'd, I notice there is a very low power 5th core that does most of the work, the others come online as required. Very elegant! There is also a 12-core GPU !!

Exciting times, but NVIDIA's mobile GPUs suck terribly in performance and efficiency terms compared to both ARM's own Mali & Imagination Technologies' PowerVR.
They may be first out of the gate with a quad-core, but there'll be ones with way more powerful GPUs and no doubt more elegant CPU-portion designs soon. Plus, in their rush to get this out it'll be on 40nm ... the ones coming out in Q1 & Q2 next year from other companies will be 28nm and actually consume significantly less juice (even at peak load) than today's dual cores.

Honestly, I don't see any reason for being excited. Just give me more RAM and miniHDMI out on N900, and I'm happy penguin 
Yea, I can imagine HDMI output @ 1080p could use powerful DSP/GPU, but quad cores of CPU? Hm, maybe dosbox emulating some powerful machine to play SystemShock (1) smoothly... Not many more useful things, I suspect.
Of course, bloatware industry will - probably - benefit from that. Which is of none interest to me, even less anything to be happy about.

Those tegra3s might make a nice build farm for some ARM distro or other though.

Come up with some useful scenarions then?

I personally can't wait to see ARM's next-gen big.LITTLE computing.
Basically a (28nm) 1GHz Cortex A7 that runs when the system is in idle. When on-demand, (28nm) Dual-Core A15 Eagles clocked at 1.5GHz are activated.
With 1GB of DDR3 RAM, 64GB NAND, a decent gpu, dsp and other modules... it should bring mobile performance on-par with last-gen's personal computers (Intel SU7300).
Which means on low-power mode it should give similar performance to something like an OMAP3630 but with 30% less battery drain. And on high-performance it should consume about the same amount as a regular 1GHz Dual-Cortex A9 (like Tegra2) but offer a large performance boost (estimated about 7-fold).
Now if a beast like that had real software (Linux-base, bug-free with proper GUI like Kde/Qt) then it should rival even today's ultraportables.
