NVIDIA Tegra

NVIDIA Tegra is a heterogeneous processor architecture with multiple processors, each architected for a specific class of tasks an 800 MHz ARM CPU, a HD video processor, an imaging processor, an audio processor, and an ultra-low power GeForce GPU. These processors are used together or independently to deliver a wonderful experience while utilizing a minute amount of power. Recognizing that mobile Internet access usages will occur not just on smartphones and handsets but on computer devices as well, NVIDIA announced the Tegra architecture. NVIDIA Tegra is a tiny computer-on-a-chip, smaller than a US dime(10-cent piece), designed from the ground up to enable the “visual PC experience” on a new generation of mobile computing devices while consuming the smallest amount of power.

NVIDIA Tegra 650 also features: All-day media processing, for 130 hours audio, 30 hours HD video playback, HD image processing for advanced digital still camera and HD camcorder functions Optimized hardware support for Web 2. The launch of the NVIDIA Tegra marks a major step forward in enabling the next computing revolution driven by ultra-low power, ultra-portable Mobile Internet Devices, and ARM is proud to be at the center of this game-changing technology.

“Our vision was to create a platform that will enable the 2nd personal computer revolution, which will be mobile centric, with devices that last days on a single charge, and yet has the web, high definition media, and computing experiences we’ve come to expect from our PC,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO at NVIDIA.

“Today’s launch of the ARM processor-based NVIDIA Tegra is a testament to our long and fruitful relationship with NVIDIA, who were one of the first licensees of our ARM11 MP Core multi core processor technology,” said Warren East, CEO, ARM. The NVIDIA Tegra is the company’s effort at a single-chip computer, capable of rich high definition and internet experience that we expect from our PCs on your mobile pocket device.
