HTC will use Nvidia's Kal-El quad-core Tegra 3 processor in its HTC Edge smartphone.

The Edge will feature a 4.7-inch touch screen and Google 4.0, and will be launched in March-April 2012, according to industry sources.

Nvidia announced the new quad-core Tegra processor, bringing PC-class performance levels, claiming better battery life and improved mobile experiences to tablets and phones.

Nvidia noted that the Tegra 3 processor provides up to three times the graphics performance of Tegra 2, and up to 61% lower power consumption, translating to 12 hours of battery life for HD video playback.

The Tegra 3 processor implements a new, patent-pending technology known as Variable Symmetric Multiprocessing (vSMP). vSMP includes a fifth CPU "companion," specifically designed for work requiring little power. The four main cores are specifically designed for work requiring high performance, and generally consume less power than dual-core processors.

The Tegra 3 quad-core CPUs are complemented with a new 12-core Nvidia GeForce GPU.
