 NVIDIA Corporation has introduced the Tegra family of processors, the world's first single-chip computer capable of high definition and internet experiences we've come to expect from our PCs, but on small pocket type devices.
NVIDIA Tegra is a tiny computer-on-a-chip 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.
'Creating Tegra was a massive challenge. 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. '
'Shrinking down a 50 watt PC architecture will not create the discontinuity this industry needs. The culmination of nearly 1,000 man years of engineering, Tegra is a completely ground-up computer-on-a-chip architecture that consumes 100 times less power. '
The NVIDIA Tegra 650 processor is the second product in the Tegra line, the first being the NVIDIA Tegra APX 2500 processor, which is enabling the next generation of Windows Mobile smartphones.
With the launch of this new processor, the NVIDIA Tegra products will reach consumers towards the end of the year.
NVIDIA Tegra is a heterogeneous processor architecture with multiple processors, created 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.
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.
- Optimised hardware support for Web 2.0 applications for a true desktop-class internet experience.
- Display support for 1080p HDMI, WSXGA+ LCD and CRT, and NTSC/PAL TV-Out.
- Direct support for WiFi, disk drives, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals
- A complete Board Support Package (BSP) to enable fast times to market for Windows Mobile-based designs.
