There has been a lot of whispering about Nvidia's next-generation Tegra chip, code-named Kal-El (Superman's Kryptonian name, for the uninitiated), since it was first detailed on a roadmap back in Februrary. But it hasn't shown up quite yet in any actual handsets or tablets, though we're told it has been adopted by the majors and will have its debut soon. Nvidia today released some new information about the SoC that confirms Tegra's status as the brand to beat in the mobile computing world. Turns out it's not quad-core, it's penta-core. And the "companion core" is designed to take over while all the others go to sleep.
