NVIDIA has announced it will have a quad core Tegra SoC Tablet built on a quad core ARM by August. It answers so far code-named Kal-El. The version for smartphone is expected to arrive at Christmas. He has started shipping the first copies of tests earlier this month and would be confident in its calendar.
The announcement comes just days after submission of the quad core SoC that Qualcomm is expected to arrive in 2012, thus giving an interesting advance in graphics card manufacturer. (See "Qualcomm Unveils SoC quad-core 2.5 GHz). He announced that Kal-El will support 3D stereoscopic resolutions of 2560 x 1600, which will be useful when you plug the device on a secondary display.
He talks about computing power greater than 5x the Tegra 2 sold today. Clearly, NVIDIA imagine it will be possible to use the terminal on a dock into the machine replacing its booster laptop or PC. Our colleagues at PC Mag reported that an official of the firm asserts that under CoreMark, Kal-El is greater than a Core 2 Duo T7200 (2 GHz, 4 MB L2, 667 MHz FSB, 65 nm).
NVIDIA has presented a roadmap extending through 2014 and if we have any technical details on other chips, we know the code names (Wayne Tegra platform for expected release in 2012, 2013 and Logan Stark in 2014 ). The company anticipates, however, a substantial growth that would, within three years, a hundred times greater than in 2010.
The more cautious will have noticed that the code names are borrowed from the world of superheroes. Kal-El is Kryptonian name Joseph Clark Kent in Superman comics. Bruce Wayne (Batman), Dog Logan (Wolverine) and Tony Stark (Iron Man) will have the task to give superpowers to the platforms of the firm.
