Must have seen it 10 times. Then you should know he never says that: Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven. I guess you need to see it... wait for it... eleven.

This is actually hilarous hypesmanship......If you checked, the Qualcomm baseband plus snapdragon probably has more like 6+ cores inside if your counting hte ARM based stuff, more like 20+ if your also counting QDSP cores. You think they actually run the snapdragon to do sleep mode in the baseband? No, they most likely use an ARM thumb or Arm9 to do it at far less power and far less silicon space. So Nvidia actually copied Qualcomm and put another core in there (what KIND OF CORE????) to do low power stuff. and why? what exactly are they going to do with this new low power core they could not have done with their other core? If you don't need the speed, just clock it slower. Cmos still scales with clock speed. Ahhh, yes, clock scaling is not as note worthy as FIVE cores. So what next 50 cores just so they can do LOWER power?
