At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, nVidia has taken the veil on the third generation of SoC (system-on-chip) specific for tablets and smartphones. "Kal-El" is the codename for nVidia that uses internally to identify the new architecture designed to take the place of the Tegra platform 2. "Kal-El" is equipped with four ARM processors with shared cache coupled to a 12-core GPU GF.
Nvidia promises performance improvements on the front double and triple the CPU than the graphics Tegra 2 without change in energy consumption and to testify to the goodness of this solution shows the results obtained with the synthetic benchmark CoreMark 1.0. As a further test, the home of Santa Clara shows the smooth management of the video to 1440p (2560x1440) streamed from a tablet SoC with Kal-El to a 30-inch monitor.
"Kal-El is Able to do extreme high-definition video, the likes of Which has Never Been seen in a mobile device, or for that Matter, On Any consume product. That speed comes without raising the TDP as Kal-El is more efficient Than The Tegra 2., "Said Phil Carmack, senior vice president of mobile nVidia" Kal-El "will arrive on the tablet in August, probably with the official name of Tegra 3 and only at a later time on smart phones, high-performance (so-called superphones).
nVidia's roadmap for the next three years includes the presentation of as many SoC with an incredible performance increase per generation.
