Nvidia’s Icera LTE modem gets approved by AT&T
by Lucian Armasu on May 24, 2012 0 Comments">0
Most chip makers have long realized that, in the future, they are going to need to integrate LTE and 3G modems with their SoCs if they want to be competitive. This brings down the price of components, which is a benefit to potential customers and it also reduces time-to-market. The latter has been a problem for Nvidia with Tegra 3, because just as they were starting to get a window of opportunity in the mobile market, here comes Qualcomm with their S4 SoC, which has integrated LTE, and takes away market share from them, in several major markets where LTE …
NVIDIA reveals Kai: a $199 quad-core tablet project
by Ankit Banerjee on May 23, 2012 5 Comments">5
We’ve seen a slew of low-cost Android 4.0 tablets flooding the market courtesy of some Chinese manufacturers. These devices, that fall in the $100 – $250 price range, are quite impressive in their own right, boasting impressive builds and form factors. The low-cost is thanks to compromises in display resolution, RAM (generally 512MB), cameras, processors (generally single core processors, or 1Ghz dual-core processors). Everything said and done, there is obviously something more attractive about a 1920×1200 display resolution with a 1.5 Ghz quad-core processor. That is, if you can ignore that $600+ price tag. Will there ever be a way …

by Shea Harris on May 20, 2012 0 Comments">0
If you’re an Android user who loves to root your phone, you’re probably well versed on the benefits of apps that allow you to control your phone’s CPU. From over and under clocking, to setting CPU governors, apps such as SetCPU give you ultimate control over the performance and power saving of your device. Now the good folks over at XDA-Developers have developed a similar app for the quad-core HTC One X. CoreControl, created by XDA member Meltus, allows you to control how many cores in the HTC One X are active at time. Root access is of course a …

KDDI and Fujitsu have just launched a powerful new Android smartphone which is scheduled to be released in Japan in early July.

Tegra 3 + LTE devices coming in Q3 2012, says Nvidia
by Bams Sadewo on Apr 21, 2012 0 Comments">0
Feeling the pinch from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4, Samsung’s Exynos 4412, and other SoC debutants, Nvidia plans to follow up its quad-core Tegra 3 processor with a Tegra 3+ this year. The news was revealed by Nvidia general manager Mike Rayfield during a tech conference in Seattle. Speaking to PC World, Rayfield stated that the Tegra 3+ will be “a pretty significant bump” from its predecessor and “it’ll be high performance.” But that’s not all that Nvidia has up its sleeve. An updated version of Tegra 3 will come with an integrated LTE modem, which would open the lucrative North American …
Why NVIDIA is going to have a stellar year
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 04, 2012 0 Comments">0
NVIDIA is one of the most well-known, respected and established names in the industry of graphics processing manufacturing. While this may be true, the US-based company has struggled to gain profitability due to a variety of environmental and economic events of the past few years. After being named Forbes’ “Company of the Year’’ in 2007, Jen-Hsun Huang’s electronics giant entered into a slippery slope of economic decline, constantly reporting quarterly losses and dips in revenue. While most companies would have cut costs and considered thinking of reducing production, NVIDIA did exactly the opposite. While the GeForce GPU product line has …
Free RPG SoulCraft is now available an all Android devices
by Danic Filip on Mar 29, 2012 0 Comments">0
SouldCraft is a fantastic, free-to-play Android role playing game that was, for a long time, only available on Tegra 3 devices via the TegraZone portal. As many Android gamers have hoped, SoulCraft has now became available (for free) on all Android devices. Currently, the game is in open-beta status, meaning that you can expect changes and updates (locations, character, spells, items and more) every week, most of them being based on user feedback. Speaking of users, the SoulCraft community is very active and fun to interact with, and is about to grow even bigger, as the game gains popularity and its user base extends. …
HTC One XL benchmark results confirm Snapdragon S4′s superiority over Tegra 3
by Bams Sadewo on Mar 26, 2012 12 Comments">12
The HTC One X is undergoing some kind of identity crisis in the US. While the global variant comes with a Nvidia Tegra 3 SoC, the AT&T version of the phone — renamed as the HTC One XL – will have to make do with a Snapdragon S4 processor. This ultimately means you can no longer gloat that your phone touts a quad-core processor. But is this necessarily a bad thing? Not really. Various benchmark results have shown that the Snapdragon S4 could actually hold its own against Nvidia Tegra 3. In fact, our own Lucian Armasu has written in …
Qualcomm vs NVIDIA: a tight battle for the #1 spot in 2012
by Mike Andrici on Mar 20, 2012 6 Comments">6
When it comes to today’s smartphones, there’s a lot of interest around what devices are getting what SoC (System on a Chip). Many expected 2012 to be the year of the quad-core smartphone, but it’s much more likely that dual-core processors will still continue to show up in flagship superphones and attract a lot of customers from the substantial mid-end market. The five major tech companies that dominate smartphone processor sales currently are Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, Samsung, and –don’t you know it- Apple. Since the latter two make processors almost exclusively for their own smartphones, and with Texas Instruments …
Asus Transformer Pad Infinity 700 vs Apple iPad (3rd gen) – Battle of the High-Resolution Tablets
by Lucian Armasu on Mar 19, 2012 83 Comments">83
The new iPad (3rd generation) has just been launched, and it’s time to look at how competitive it is to one of the most expected upcoming Android tablets – the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity 700 (Asus product naming is getting a little out of hand here; it shouldn’t take a full sentence to call a product by its name). The Transformer Pad Infinity will also be a high-resolution tablet like the new iPad and it’s worth looking at their specs and their use cases to see how they compare. Asus Transformer Pad Infinity 700 Specs Processor: Tegra 3 (T33), quad core …
[Updated] Delay of the S4 production may affect future consumer interest

![[Updated] Delay of the S4 production may affect future consumer interest](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Qualcomm-S4-1.jpg)
[Updated with TI's input on the OMAP 4460] Nobody seems to have a perfect launch in the chip industry. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they don’t. Their only consolation is that their competitors can have the same problem. We’ve been upset with Nvidia for delaying, for months at a time, both the Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 chips, but the others have had and have delays, too. The OMAP 4460 at 1.5 Ghz was supposed to come out last fall, but so far we still haven’t seen it yet, and they’re likely to just skip it and jump straight …
Why the New iPad 3 May Be Slower than iPad 2. Wait, What?
by Lucian Armasu on Mar 09, 2012 38 Comments">38
“Quad core tablet”, “four times the graphics performance of Tegra 3″, “the second coming of Jesus Christ – again”, and of course all the usual “amazing, spectacular, magical and all the other attributes we’ve heard before about any new Apple device, appeared once again in the Apple media a couple of days ago. Except many of those are not exactly true – well perhaps the “magical” one is – I mean who can argue with that? We don’t have any actual benchmarks done by 3rd parties yet, but from what I can tell, the iPad 3 is first of all …
