WiFi Display to Make Your Life Easier in 2012
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 23, 2012 2 Comments">2
Later this year, there will be a new industry standard called WiFi Display, that will start appearing in both mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, but also smart TV’s. Both TI and Qualcomm are pushing for this standard in 2012 and we should expect at least a few devices to have it by the end of the year. Samsung and Nvidia haven’t announced anything related to this, but Samsung is one of the biggest TV manufacturers, and they are good at pushing new standards, so I’m sure they will have this, too, most likely starting with the Galaxy S3. …
ASUS 7-inch Tegra 3 Tablet Will Be Sold for $249
by Christine T on Jan 10, 2012 4 Comments">4
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang spoke of great things to come for the company at CES 2012 while cross-referencing to a Toyota Corolla as the best-selling vehicle of all time. He shared that just because it is a highly in demand car, not everyone wants or needs one. Huang referenced this with Android tablets because there are now a multitude of sizes, shapes, and specs available. After just four years, Android is close to dominating the world of smartphones and tablets. The Ice Cream Sandwich Apart from talking about Android per se, NVIDIA also discussed upcoming products, trends and technologies. One …
Asus Padfone Gets Tegra 3 – Projected for Early 2012 Release
by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 05, 2011 1 Comments">1
If you don’t already know what the PadFone is, it is basically ASUS’s way of combining a tablet and a phone into a pretty sweet device. Therefore, when we heard about the new version of the device and the benchmark that revealed its Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, we jumped all over it. However, instead of featuring just a dual-core processor, Engadget reported that “the Asus Padfone will be coming out at MWC 2012 in February…sporting a Tegra 3.” Right now, very few devices feature Tegra 3. Putting one of these quad-core beasts into a phone would simply be ridiculous. The Tegra …
Tegra 3 Tablets to Drop Prices in 6 Months, Says NVIDIA CEO
by Alvin Ybañez on Nov 21, 2011 4 Comments">4
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang told journalists recently that tablets sporting his company’s newest Tegra 3 system-on-a-chip will experience price drops within just six months, as he looks forward to NVIDIA innovations that will succeed Tegra 3. Current technology becomes old when newer technologies arrive, and when the newer technologies arrive, they also tend to be more expensive and the older technology often decreases its price. The same can be said of Tegra 3 tablets, whose prices are expected to drop to about US$300 within just a few months. Tegra 3’s flagship tablet is the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime, due …
Lenovo is Reportedly Producing Out An Ice Cream Sandwich Tablet
by Matthew Sabatini on Nov 16, 2011 1 Comments">1
It seems that everyone except Apple has made an Android tablet now. And just one is not enough, manufacturers have gone to great lengths to make multiple versions, and Lenovo is no exception. Clocking in with 3 Android Tablets on the market today, ranging from $229 to $499, Lenovo hopes that the fourth will be the charm.
What Game Developers Say about Tegra 3
by Lucian Armasu on Nov 13, 2011 5 Comments">5
Everyone seems to be impressed by just how powerful Tegra 3 really is. But it’s not just regular people like us, but also game developers and other type of developers that seem to be impressed with it as well. And what’s not to like when you have the first 4 quad core Cortex A9 CPU, basically twice as fast as anything out there right now, and also a 12 core GPU (although not with unified shaders – 8 pixel shaders and 4 vertex shaders). Here’s what some of the developers that have been working on games for Tegra 3 have …
Three Great Ways NVIDIA Tegra 3 Can Revolutionize Android Smartphones and Tablets
by Alvin Ybañez on Nov 10, 2011 1 Comments">1
If you were amazed by the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor’s speed and power, wait till you hear about the recently showcased NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor that will surely satisfy your thirst for speed and fun. Known previously by the codename “Project Kal-El,” Tegra 3 vows up to three times the graphic performance of Tegra 2. It also includes features that lowers power consumption by up to 61%, bringing you about 12 hours of High Definition video playback. So, how can Tegra 3 revolutionize an Android device–whether tablet or smartphone–that comes with it? I can think of three mind-blowing possibilities for …
We Have a Winner: Tegra 3 Blows Away the Competition in CPU Performance and Graphics Quality
by Lucian Armasu on Nov 09, 2011 6 Comments">6
It’s really too bad that Tegra 3 was delayed for so long, when it was supposed to arrive in the first devices starting August this year. It’s now November, and we probably still won’t see it until December. That’s almost half a year delay – again. It was delayed almost as much as Tegra 2. At the very least, Nvidia should’ve given us a more realistic shipping schedule, rather than an what seems to have been an extremely optimistic one – twice. I know they want to build buzz around their chips early on, but they shouldn’t let their potential …
ARM (Finally) Adopts the 64-Bit Architecture
by Lucian Armasu on Oct 27, 2011 1 Comments">1
When ARM announced Cortex A15 last year, they said Cortex A15 is a high-performance chip that can be used not only in smartphones and tablets, but also in notebooks, PC’s and even servers. It was very clear from the beginning that they intended to make ARM popular in the server market with this powerful chip. But one thing that was surprising and also a little disappointing was that they didn’t make this chip 64-bit. This means that any device can’t use more than 4 GB’s of RAM if the architecture only supports 32-bit. They did, however, add an extension for …

by Matthew Sabatini on Oct 09, 2011 12 Comments">12
Have you always wanted that perfect combo of tablet and laptop? Well hang in there, because Asus may have finally cracked the code. With detachable keyboard and all, this might be the perfect fit for users on the go that still want that incredible power and access to a nifty keyboard for some content creation on the move. There is not much detail surrounding this device yet, but that doesn’t mean we have not heard credible rumors. Here are some of the best rumors and the ones we are most confident about: Ice Cream Sandwich? Kal-El Quad-Core Processor Connecting Keyboard …
HTC to Use Nvidia Kal-El Chips in 2012?
by Lucian Armasu on Oct 01, 2011 1 Comments">1
Could this be the end of HTC’s exclusive use of Qualcomm chips? In a recent interview of HTC’s VP of Marketing with GSMArena, he said there’s actually “no exclusive deal” between HTC and Qualcomm, and when asked what other chips they could use, he said “Nvidia or TI-powered smartphones and tablets are possible in the future.” Qualcomm have done very well for themselves with the rise of touchscreen smartphones. They managed to grab TI’s longstanding leadership position, which happened with the rise of Android and the fall of Nokia and RIM (who mainly used TI chips). But perhaps the biggest reason Qualcomm …
Tegra 3 Project Kal-El Benchmarks Revealed – Not Quad Core – it’s Quintuple Core!
by Darcy LaCouvee on Sep 20, 2011 8 Comments">8
Nvidia has just dropped a nugget of gold at our doorstep – and it contains a bit of a bombshell folks. It turns out that Project Kal-El, also known as “Tegra 3″ is not actual a Quad Core SoC after all – it’s a Quintuple Core SoC. Not disclosed publicly previously, is a trick that Nvidia has been keeping up their sleeve — until today. Employing a novel process dubbed Variable Symmetric Multiprocessing (vSMP) technology – NVIDIA’s Project Kal-El SoC includes a fifth “Companion Core” created using a special low power silicon process that executes select tasks like music playback, video playback, reading loaded web pages, …
On Kal-El+, Wayne, Grey Chips and Nvidia’s Future
by Lucian Armasu on Sep 13, 2011 0 Comments">0
The recent Nvidia roadmap leak shows us what Nvidia has in store for late 2011 to late 2012 period. We can see Kal-El in there, a never before seen Kal-El+ (most likely an upgraded version of Kal-El), Wayne (Kal-El’s next-gen successor), and Grey (seemingly a low-end chip). Kal-El+ was to be expected, although many people seem surprised that it exists. We learned last year when we first heard about the dual core 1.2 Ghz Tegra 2 3D that Nvidia was planning on releasing a “new” chip every 6 months, instead of just every year. That’s not very shocking considering all …
Will Amazon’s Kindle Scribe Be The iPad 2 Killer?
by Aerol Bibat on Aug 28, 2011 1 Comments">1
Every tablet really wants to be the iPad 2 Killer and take the throne away from Apple’s golden boy. A lot of companies have boasted that their product will be the one to take away Apple’s top spot. A lot of it is pure hype, and with what little we know about the long rumored Amazon tablet(s), this may be the one to finally do it. The tablet itself is shrouded in mystery, but is still making big waves despite the lack of information. Still, it may all end up like the HP TouchPad. HP may have ended up failing …
