"Intel and Qualcomm just announced their roadmaps for mobile System on a Chip at this year's Mobile World Congress.
Intel presented performance numbers of their Merrifield SoC, a dual-core Silvermont based SoC that's effectively the phone version of Bay Trail, with some carefully chosen benchmarks that compared it to Apple's A7 SoC and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 series. Meanwhile, Qualcomm revealed future 64-bit Snapdragons for its mid-tier Snapdragon series. The Snapdragon 610 and 615 will arrive in Android smartphones in Q4 of this year and are four and eight core implementations of ARM's Cortex A53."

One of the promises of these 'systems on a chip' is that by reducing the number of components (and therefore by bringing all functions together in a closer area), the system-on-a-chip is supposed to draw less power from the batteries than an equivalent old-style system with multiple components. If you couple this with the ever progressing possibilities of battery technology, we are inching slowly but surely in the right direction.
Of course, the average smartphone-user will throw away all that progress on viewing more adverts in Facebook.
