The Tegra line of processors from NVidia has been installing more and more mobile, especially in high-end Androids. Earlier this year the company's plans were still in 2011 to create a quad-core chip for mobile platforms. And with only two months for that period ends, the Nvidia today announced its Tegra 3, the first ARM-chip quad-core A9 toward smartphones and tablets.
The processing power of the Tegra 3 is 1.5 GHz and it comes with a specific core beyond the fifth major, which is used for tasks that require little processing. It also comes with an implementation of GeForce graphics chip, which has 12 cores.
In tests conducted with prototypes in February, the company was able to play videos in 1440p without a problem, then we know that in theory he was already quite powerful. A new video released today confirmed that the company did not stop to rest.
To see if the chip that promises to fulfill even in real life, the Nvidia said it will provide 15 new games specifically for the Tegra 3 in his shop, which mainly distributes applications for the Android platform. And the HTC Edge can even be the first Android smartphone to come with this chip on the market, but it will not be the first device with it: the ASUS Eee Prime Transformer will come out ahead.
As always, the processor is only as good as the system that takes advantage of it. Android already has optimizations that allow you to take advantage of multi-core architectures, while Windows Phone gets along very well with single-core processors. Some say that playing numbers of cores and clock up there is a race useless, but I think the market will end up deciding alone.
