CES 2013: 8 Things to Expect
A Hexa-core or Octa-core ARM-based CPU
We've already heard rumors that MediaTek is developing an 8-core CPU and that Samsung may release a octa-core Exynos CPU. We think that Nvidia, which was the first company to sell a quad-core ARM chip, will be the first to demonstrate a chip with more than 4 cores. However, we wouldn't be surprised if Qualcomm announced such a chip without providing demos.
Though a CPU with 8 cores seems like the next logical step up, we may see hexa-core units come first.What can you do with 6 or 8 cores that you can't do with 4? We can't wait to find out.

hexa-core and octa-core processors on mobile phones? come on people.. even laptops and desktops most often don’t go over quad-core.

Please stop it with these annoying, slow slide show ‘articles’. Everything could easily be displayed on one scrolling page.
If you think it makes us view more advertising you’re wrong. We’re still blocking and ignoring it.

I agree with Roman, also giant tablets seem to defeat the purpose of a tablet. I’d put my money in to low cost tablets, I love my Nexus 7.

I think that a 16-18″ tablet would be awesome. I’d love to have own to use on the go.
