i.MX 6 quad-core reference board flexes processing muscle at Freescale Technology Forum

Freescale answered our power prayers with the introduction of its i.MX 6 processor suite at CES earlier this year, but left us anticipating a demo. Well, the outfit’s just given us all our first glimpse on the healthiest processing muscle within the bunch, the quad-core i.MX 6. Sporting four ARM Cortex A9 cores and a 64-bit memory bus, the reference design board could be seen running a 1080p video demo and Quake simultaneously — and it didn’t even break a sweat. Freescale says it’s currently working with Google on making the processor Honeycomb-compatible, but do not get too excited; i.MX 6 won’t make it into real-deal machines until 2012. If you have got an additional 20 minutes to spare, hop on past the break for a slightly lengthy video of the processor at work.
