Its pretty small and they did state it could play 720p, so it should at least be decent G31-G35-ish I think...
But given on what we know performance degradations we know about really energy efficient chips (I'm talking better than my computer), I'd like to contradict that though (great example being Intel Atom)

If this http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php? [...] 3&Itemid=1 is true, Intel better hurry up with their Larrabee or something. Too bad they never made a better igp eh? Oh well, these wont sell in businesses anyways

Summary: Tegra is ARM 11 surronded by audio and video decoders. Will be coupled with ultra low power Geforce. Useable with Windows CE or Mobile. Two versions at lauch, 600 @ 700MHZ and 700 @ 800MHZ. Later lower power consumption. HDMI may be added to allow playback of HD.
Saves you from reading the entire thing...

Extra summary from INQ and Fud: Tegra can do 720p with 600mv. Nvirda says 1/10th size and power requirement of Atom, 10x performance of Atom. Can run Quake 3 @ 35FPS. 20 hours of video. Mobile Tegra is fatter than Iphone but may end up slimmer. Has HDMI, analog, headphones and USB 2.
Its amazing how easily you can dilute 5 1page articles into a paragraph...
The real question is... is this the product of Nvidias splurging on research of micro processors that has been happening over the past couple of years and or only the acquisition of the firm that made this possible.
Will we be seeing a desktop processor from them any time soon?
They also followe3d up with something about Intel using OLEDs, which will give the Atom a nudge, but it wont be enough, Atom uses too much power
Yes, so did Nvidia. Atom's held back by the GMA 950 and to some extent the CPU itself. Its mainly because X86 was never deigned for mobile use, thus leading the ARM architure into glory... One day I think we shall all use ARM or PPC...

I doubt it tho, they have made an ARM processor, it would take quite some time to adapt it to X86. Anyways Nivida I've got to hand it to you, you really know how to steal away my love of AMD... I'm gonna guess a low-power CPU from AMD (not geode) I mean like they've done it once why not again?
Interesting... a multi-core ARM processor... ARM X2 + Tegra = next-gen computer? 1 billion pixels per second sounds good on paper but we should know marketing by now... http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inqu [...] e-graphics
