PC Perspective has confirmed what was already rumored to be powering the ZuneHD - the Nvidia Tegra chip.
Quote:
Well PC Perspective can [confirm]: the Zune HD does in fact use NVIDIA's Tegra processor. I actually learned this fact from some NVIDIA staffers over at Computex in early June but I guess I just didn't realize how "news worthy" the information was. No longer do you have to worry about "rumors" on the subject - Tegra has its first major design win.
NVIDIA Tegra likely won the design with impressive statistics like its ability to decode a video stream using just 150 mWatts of power and output audio at only 20 mWatts.

Also, PC Perspective points out that the
Tegra Chip will be the first mobile chip to fully support Adobe Flash acceleration, but it's still left to be seen if Microsoft will go with Adobe or their own flash service; Silverlight.
