Carphone Warehouse’s ‘overclocked’ 11.4GHz Nokia Lumia 900 :P

Woah, hold your horses right there. This is of course, another typo error.

Someone’s keyboard got a bit stuck and typed out a 11.4GHz processor on Carphone Warehouse’s brochure, instead of 1.4GHz. I guess at times it’s smooth enough to make people think it has much more power under the hood than what it currently has.

It makes me wonder – how many more years until something like this isn’t so impossible to believe?

I mean, already this year, (or last year, depending on when you heard about it) Nokia already stunned is with a 41MP sensor in a camera phone. 4.1 right? Nope. 41MP. I can remember being a member of forums, ‘dreaming’ about crazy unbelievable specifications that are no longer that surprising now.

    I wonder what benchmark scores that the 11.4 GHz L900 will get compared to SGS3 ;)

    I think the trend of Desktop performance is the goto for what may be following for mobile performance. Considering many silicon makers are using 28nm processes already, up to 4 or 5 CPU cores and multicore GPUs, next advance will be something like hyperthreading with virtual cores ala Intel i5/7. That or a low energy integrated active cooling system to push clock speeds further than 1.5GHz, which I would seriously doubt would happen for a handset. Tablet? Mmmmm, could be!

    I just downloaded two new apps for lumia, Batman Origins and Kaliki(reads news back to you) way cool apps. Jays going to like the Batman Origins app. Nice job on both Nokia. Cant wait for Mix Radio in the U.S. Hey, it looks like Nokia is very popular on Fhotoroom. The 710 takes very nice pictures. Oh, to get the apps hit on any app in Nokia Marketplace and then other Nokia apps to find them.

    Well, x86 CPUs have been around for quite some decades, and the record is something around 8.5 GHz. So 11 sounds, if not downright impossible, realistically unfeasible, if we’re talking about traditional silicon-based CPUs.

    Oh ya, overclockers scale silicon pretty far with liquid nitrogen in a cup, then that cpu melts through the table.

    Man-made diamond was supposed to be the next medium for semiconductors, but what, the purity couldn’t be controlled well enough or something?
    Honestly, to guess the next advance in cpus will probably be yet another process drop. Mobile platforms will probably get a jump from DDR to DDR2 or 3, bump up in buffering performance and a drop in energy consumption. No telling what gpus will do in the mobile world. They are already advancing pretty quickly.

    Ali must be very happy

    Oh, and poster “i d” clearly enjoys a good wank with his mates over a moldy muffin. What a tosser! Piss off, you chode.

    I remember time when phones megapixel amount was equal to photo quality. I remember time when I would have been totally stunned by bit more colors and pixels on screen.
    In future I can imagine even mid-range smartphones to have high resolution screens, todays battery life being just bad old memory and high-end devices being compared more between what they can do instead of how smooth they are.

    I think phone makers should stop this power war and focus on making our phones more efficient. All the gigahertz, gigabytes and gigapixels are absolutely useless to me (and i suspect 95% of users) if the phone can’t make it through a day of normal use – as in a 24-hour day.
