NVIDIA Tegra: The Mobile Charge

Today NVIDIA is announcing its Tegra line of products which are aimed at the
mobile market and are designed as essentially a "system on a chip". This is
not exactly NVIDIA's first foray into the world of mobile devices, but it
certainly is their first that contains the graphics core, southbridge, and a
full Arm 11 CPU. We are not quite at the point of saying watch out Intel
and AMD, but from what I have seen so far the Tegra lineup is pretty
impressive considering what it is able to do and how it is able to do it.

Quote: "In our line of thinking we often consider the CPU the core of the
platform, but that is beginning to change. In the Tegra line the CPU acts
as the conductor of the platform, but most of the performance features that
NVIDIA is pushing are actually accelerated by the graphics portion of the
platform. Consider how video decode and encode has gone from the CPU to the
GPU in the past several years. This is merely an extension of that overall
trend, but trimmed down to the very basics."

Thanks for a post!
