ARM has been talking up its Mali-200 and Mali-400 processors. Through the conversations, manufacture of very powerful processors for mobile phones could be here by winter 2009.

According to Remi Pedersen, graphics product manager at ARM, the opportunity to play (what looks like) an X-Box game on your mobile phone is soon possible. Mali mobile GPUs are already showing up in some phones. Although prices were not mentioned, Pederson promises 4x Anti-Aliasing out of Mali and up to 16x without taxing the system too much.
The processors are able to run OpenGL ES 2.0 and can supposedly pump out 16 million triangles per second and 275 million pixels per second. This for both the Mali-200 and Mali-400. The 400 for example, can go from a single-core 100MHz mali-400 scaling up to quad-core at 300MHz. It can even scale to produce 1080p resolutions. The power of mobile phones is getting intense, although when will there be one that can make my coffee and put out the trash?
