Last year worlds leading graphics processor producing company NVIDIA Corporation introduced the Tegra family of processors, the first single-chip computer capable of the rich high definition and internet experiences we’ve come to expect from our PCs, but on small pocket type devices. NVIDIA Tegra is a tiny computer-on-a-chip, smaller than a US dime (10-cent piece), designed from the ground up to enable the “visual PC experience” on a new generation of mobile computing devices while consuming the smallest amount of power. Now it will be on Google Android too.
NVIDIA Tegra additional features:
- All-day media processing, for 130 hours audio, 30 hours HD video playback
- HD image processing for advanced digital still camera and HD camcorder functions
- Optimized hardware support for Web 2.0 applications for a true desktop-class internet experience
- Display support for 1080p HDMI, WSXGA+ LCD and CRT, and NTSC/PAL TV-Out
- Direct support for WiFi, disk drives, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals
- A complete Board Support Package (BSP) to enable fast times to market for Windows Mobile-based designs
And now Nvidia is working with Google on Android phones as it veers off from its Windows-Mobile-only strategy. Last Monday, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nvidia announced that it is working with Google and the Open Handset Alliance to get its Tegra processor into Android phones. Tegra is a system-on-a-chip that integrates an ARM applications processor and Nvidia’s GeForce graphics silicon, among other functions. The target is to bring robust PC-like graphics to small devices.
Andy Rubin, Google’s senior director of mobile platforms, said in a statement “We welcome Nvidia’s support of Android on Tegra”.
Since last year, Nvidia has been focusing up Tegra as a chip aimed exclusively at Windows Mobile smartphones. But not anymore. “By supporting Android, manufacturers and operators can now easily use a Tegra processor to build mobile phones,” Nvidia said.
Nvidia also said that its Tegra chip will enable a $99, always-on, always-connected mobile internet device (MID) capable of playing back high-definition video and going for “days between battery charges.” This would be based on Windows Mobile, according to Nvidia.
