Honeycomb To Require Dual-Core Processor 177

adeelarshad82 writes "According to managing director of Korean consumer electronics firm Enspert, Google's new Android Honeycomb tablet OS will require a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor to run properly. That means that many existing Android tablets will not be upgradeable to Honeycomb, as they lack the processor necessary to meet the spec. Currently, Nvidia's Tegra 2 platform is the only chipset in products on the market to include a Cortex-A9, although other manufacturers have said they're moving to the new processor architecture for 2011 products."

Perhaps I run an overly customised GUI or something, or like hacking the registry too much - but I find it takes me months to before I truly feel that a system has everything I need on it the way I want it. I know many people say a re-install takes a day and that's true enough, but getting everything you want on a box set up the way you like it takes a fairly long time I reckon.
