You say iPhone, nVidia says Tegra!

nVidia has details on a new portable personal computer.

Tegra 600 Series
Tegra 600 Series products are true computers-on-a-chip in a package smaller than a US dime. With advanced multimedia functionality and low-power design, the Tegra 600 Series will power the next-generation of visual computing on Microsoft Windows Mobile and CE-based mobile internet devices (MIDs).

Key features:
Up to 1080p HD video playback
Ultra-low-power GeForce GPU for intuitive and smooth 3D user interfaces
Integrated media processor for over 100 hours audio and 10 hours HD video playback
Image processor with advanced DSC and HD camcorder processing
Connectivity to support Web 2.0 and social media applications
Display support for up to 1080p HDMI, WSXGA+ LCD, SXGA CRT, and NTSC/PAL TV-Out

Tegra APX
Tegra APX applications processors bring the power of visual computing to the palm of your hand, powering next-generation Microsoft Windows Mobile-based smartphones, portable navigation devices (PNDs), and portable media players (PMPs).

Key features:
720p HD video capture and playback
The lowest power for demanding applications like 720p HD video
3D user interface that enhances browsing and content navigation
Premium HD video playback with NVIDIA� PureVideo� technology
Ability to access visually intensive online applications like mapping and gaming

These two new devices could be the next step in portable computing and will obviously make the touch phone phenoma obsolete by providing a true portable computing experience. Not to mention superior video viewing. They use a new mini GPU and in my opinion look like a serious contender for best new gadget on the horizon.

Not to mention the effect of the Tegra solutions in other devices as well.

No release date has been set from what I have been reading.

I am sure some of you have some info, so post it on up.

That APX had better be on the Zune. Frankly, I'm not normally a supporter of nVidia(they take even more shortcuts than ATI does), but if it means kicking the iPhone on its smooth, sleek ass, go nVidia!

runtohell121 · 06-14-2008, 07:36 AM

looks nice.. but maybe its a concept that might never release.. just like Meizu minione m8.. been almost 2 years no sign of actual release date..

EndUnknown · 06-14-2008, 07:43 AM

True, but if nVidia starts something like this we can be sure AMD/ATI (DAMMIT) will not be far behind, hopefully.

Meizu hasn't released the M8 so far this year due to falling behind in the mp3 market in Asia so instead of banking on something new they want to release a new mp3 to get more ducats before putting the M8 into service. They are not Apple with an army of iFans who iBuy everything with a tiny i made by Apple.

Ditto but I love the possiblities of what this technology would entail for notebooks and other devices. A sub-notebook that can play 1080P, Blu-Ray might have a chance.

+ YouTube Video

720p content, screen flicker is because they didn't use the special camera that can record TV or the special monitor that can be recorded.

GAMING

+ YouTube Video

Granted it is Quake 1.

I'm approaching this with cautious optimism. As a big fan of Creative, one of their subsidiary's also had something cool 3D like this and it has yet to show up. http://epizenter.net/comment.php?comment.news.329

I sure as hell did not say iPhone!

Those look excellent though. If I had thousands of monies lying around, I'd buy a bounce house, and then I'd buy one or seven of those fancy little guys.

That video, however, was not excellent. A GIF would do just as well.

That information came straight from the source though. So blame nVidia for creating the myths!
