Why The Tegra Chip is so Powerful
June 17, 2009 by ACE
For starters, the Tegra chip sips power while at the same time doing extremely powerful things. How is this acheived? A fundamental change from conventional processor architecture. It has 8 independent processors that each work to reduce the amount of power needed only WHEN needed. Watch below:
And what does that mean for you? How about instead of 25 hours worth of music on a single battery charge, you get 25 DAYS worth of playback? How about watch up to 5 of your favorite movies in HD on a single charge? Watch below:
The final video below is quite lengthy, but does show how the Tegra chip can fully support flash on internet browsers as well as HD playback without skipping a beat, and well under a watt of power each time.
So there you have it. This thing is pretty awesome! Imagine asking your friend who has an iPod Touch how long his battery lasts and letting him know your ZuneHD lasts for days longer than his ‘hours’!
Oh, and here’s a demonstration of how games could be rendered. Of course there will be no camera on the ZuneHD, but this shows the rendering and computing power of the Tegra chip. [Thanks Zalcron!]

Some device I know does not support flash at all, even for YouTube, wonder what that was again...

every battery is like that. every time you charge a battery you get a little bit less battery time. especially if you charge it before its completely dead. especially considering 3 years. you are the quickest to judge. and turning on the devise actually takes more power than leaving it on.
im a little confused about that last game there with the camera. how does it even work and will we see anything like that on the zunehd?

some people.
I guess what you're saying makes sense, somewhat, but from 24 hours to 6 hours? That seems like a ripoff to me.

if you dont like it, dont buy it. we like zune, you dont have to. maybe you got a lemon because i got my zune 4 a few months ago and the battery in it is fine. but keep in mind that every time you charge it when its not fully dead, and every time you start to charge it and take it off early makes the battery last less. like every time you put music on it and take it off early.
As for the Tegra, I'm hoping for some exciting things coming this fall. Good battery life + excellent graphics is a definite WIN.
Tegra getting 4 times faster next year
