We've heard some rumblings that quad-core smartphones could be headed to Mobile World Congress, and now another hint that quad-core handsets may  be headed to Barcelona later this month has surfaced. Up above is an invite to NVIDIA's MWC press event that touts its "quad-core firsts." What's that we see in that roller coaster-riding gentleman's hands? Why, that's a smartphone.

Over the past few months, the rumor mill has churned out reports of quad-core Tegra 3-powered handsets from the likes of HTC and LG, both of which are said to be making the trip to MWC. We'll have to wait until our feet touch the ground in Barcelona before finding out whether or not that's actually the case, but it's starting to look like we'll be seeing some form of quad-core smartphone at MWC in a few weeks. Are you excited about the impending arrival of quad-core smartphones?
