How fast will mobile phone CPU's get?

Obviously not literal performance... but for consumers the web is a great architecture/platform leveller (even more so once HTLM5 kicks in)
That's what most computers do these days, browse the web? We might get direct photoshop comparisons in a few years with Windows 8/iOS products?

(Hmm, I was thinking about the older AMDs not the later Athlons :p The barton is a P4 type CPU?)

I woud not fancy having anything Nuclear in my pocket near my bits. :D

I think they will get quite powerfull though,I suppose give it time new types of battery will appear and of course things get more energy efficient.

I have a Samsung Galexy Europa,Which is considered a lower end Android phone...its a great phone for the price but when you play games on it... (Angry Birds) it does lag with its 600 or is it 650Mhz processor?
 
These processors will be powerful, but they will be tweaked to useful in certain tasks such as HD video playback and multimedia. In terms of pure number crunching, there is no need for that in mobile processors at all.

And angry birds is hardly intensive. A 10 year old desktop processor would run it without issue.

Chips these days tend to be specialised for certain tasks, as oppose to being all rounders. Which makes perfect sense.
