VIDEO: Nvidia Tegra 3 Kal-El Promo Video

Nvidia has released a promo video of its upcoming Tegra 3 five-core SoC code-named "Kal-El". The commercial doesn't offer any hard facts when it comes to what devices will feature the chip or when they'll be available on the market, but merely shows what a Superman-themed SoC promises to offer when duty calls, including console-quality gaming, high-speed internet with Flash, multitasking, full HD video and more.

Tablets will reportedly arrive first with Kal-El intact from manufacturers like Asus and ZTE this fall, followed by smartphones sometime early next year.

no thanks, I'll wait for TSMC 28nm chip thats a full node jump. usually TSMC jump every half node, this time a whole node & it is just around the corner. Pretty sure chip designers can get a lot more performance and energy saving out of it.
