Nvidia Confirms Tegra's 'Superhero' Roadmap
What comes after Kal-El?
All things D has brought a lot of mobile news, the biggest being the arrival of the newest Nexus handset along with Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich. Today in Hong Kong, Nvidia did a little revealing of its own, as the company's CEO revealed a few details of its Tegra roadmap.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang today sat down for an interview with Walt Mossberg and during his talk confirmed that the next generation range of Tegra chips is already being produced internally. Aside from Kal-El, which we've already heard plenty about, the company is working on several new chips with the superhero inspired codenames of Wayne, Logan and Stark. With Stark we should see the first taste of Nvidia's exciting Project Denver.
While Jen-Hsun did confirm that Nvidia is currently producing all three, don't get too excited. These chips are still a long way off. Huang said that it's necessary to work on three at once because they take years to develop and they want to have a new one Tegra each year.
So when will we see the next Tegra? Well, as we've heard numerous times before, Kal-El is the next Tegra chip (or Tegra 3), and will be a quad-core affair. Asus this week showed off a quad-core tablet dubbed the Eee Pad Transformer Prime that is supposedly coming out in November. Engadget reports that when asked if it will be Tegra-powered, Nvidia's Jen-Hsun responded 'probably.' Exciting stuff, eh?

And the Stark ones come with a mobile weapons platform!
Logan better be the best there is at what it does
Logan better be the best there is at what it does
"shredding" the competition?
Logan better be the best there is at what it does
Only if what it does best isn't very nice!
... next!!!
would be pretty cool if AMD started making competitor chips named after super-villians. Kraven, Vemon, Doom, Joker, Lex Luthor...etc. would love the healthy competition!
In other news it has been "confirmed" that Logan's chip will be cool down by Adamantium blades on its included "WolveFan"
Can we have mystic? a chip that change its cores from CPU to GPU stream processor whenever the workload calls?
much better then now. Bulldozer? wtf? what's next? caterpiller or something? lol
what about "excavator"?
much better then now. Bulldozer? wtf? what's next? caterpiller or something? lol
Nope!
After Bulls***dozer (the fab doxed on 32/28nm)
comes Pile of s*** driver
then Steaming s*** roller
BUT
besides these server shi*s pushed to the desktop
we do have promising APU designs coming up
I just hope that AMD makes a deal with IBM about SOI
much better then now. Bulldozer? wtf? what's next? caterpiller or something? lol
Shovel.
It's better to take there time in one way, because then you can be sure that their product will be worth the effort to buy.
Wayne and Stark have me excited.
XD
Wayne and Stark have me excited.XD
Phoenix/Jean Gray for me

Actually he was asked if it would be the first Tegra 3 powered tablet, to which he responded "Probably".
We know its definitely Tegra 3 powered.
Excellent. NVidia continues its forward march.
