NVIDIA vient de présenter sa plate-forme Tegra 2 basée sur l’ARM, qui devrait équiper de nombreuses tablettes sous Android. Présenté comme consommant moins qu’un Snapdragon ou encore un Atom, le Tegra 2 gravé en 40nm pourrait à termes être présent sur des tablettes et netbooks. De la 3D, du Flash 10.1, à la vidéo haute définition 1080p, le Tegra 2 n’a pas fini de nous surprendre… avec quatre fois plus de performance que l’ancienne génération et une autonomie supérieure.

New NVIDIA Tegra Processor Powers the Tablet Revolution
LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwire – January 7, 2010) – 2010 INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW (South Hall 4 – Booth #35912) — NVIDIA today launched its Next Generation Tegra, the world’s first processor for the mobile web, specifically designed for the high-resolution needs of tablets.
Consumers have been waiting for a truly portable, high-resolution, no-compromise Internet experience. NVIDIA’s new Tegra processor delivers that by combining lightning-quick browsing, streaming 1080p video and Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 acceleration with an immersive 3D user interface and days of battery life.
“Without question, 2010 is going to be year of the tablet,” said Tim Bajarin, President, Creative Strategies, Inc. “The new NVIDIA Tegra processor has a unique feature set critical for tablets — fast web browsing with fully rendered pages, uncompromised graphics, snappy user interface and HD video — all with the battery life we’ve only seen with cell phones.”
Key to Tegra’s capabilities are eight independent processors, including the world’s first dual core CPU for mobile applications. These processors are used together or independently to optimize power usage at all times. With its ultra low-power design, Tegra delivers over 16 hours of HD video or 140 hours of music — on a single charge.(1)
