NVIDIA Introduces Tegra Processors

Posted by Michael Larabel on June 02, 2008

Following the introduction of Intel's Atom MID (Mobile Internet Device) processor family as part of the Menlow platform, VIA had introduced the Nano Processor Family just last week. Today at Computex Taipei, NVIDIA has announced their own mobile processor. NVIDIA's family of mobile processors is called Tegra and is currently made up of the Tegra 650 and Tegra APX 2500, which are planned for use with Windows smart-phones. The Tegra computer-on-a-chip architecture is made up of an 800MHz ARM CPU, HD video processor, and ultra low-power (and low-end) GeForce GPU. More information can be found in the NVIDIA Tegra Press Release.
