From Anandtech:
The video shows a demo of Ilomilo in a stereoscopic 3D display with glasses, and hints heavily at handsets coming with auto-stereoscopic 3D displays.
BTW, I wonder what he means by "physics-enabled games on the new Adreno 220". Is the Adreno 220 running a physics engine through OpenCL, or is it simply a game with physics that's just happening to be rendered by the Adreno 220?
That power gating feature seems cool. I guess it's not a standard feature from the regular Cortex A9?
The development platform is just a square handset, there’s no real industrial design to speak of. It’s mainly there to give developers a platform to use before handset manufacturers release the final hardware to market. Using that reference hardware, Qualcomm demoed a lot of different things, including physics-enabled games on the new Adreno 220 graphics processor, high definition stereoscopic 3D video, and multi-party video conferencing. Unlike Tegra 2, which can clock gate cores but cannot power gate the second core, scorpion cores can be independently turned off to conserve power as well as be clock gated. Qualcomm showed multi-page web-browsing with the second core enabled and disabled to illustrate the performance difference.
