The manufacturer claims that the technology allows you to display high definition video HDMI 1080p, while consuming only half the power needed to process the video in the format of HD.
In the “sleep” mode, Tegra enables devices to increase the working hours to several days. What is essential for mobile devices with limited resources batteries.
Along with the development of the chip, NVIDIA also introduced new user interface, design of which resembles Google Android or Mac OS X. Tegra supports Android, Windows Mobile and Windows CE. The company argues that the technology is extremely flexible and can be used in a variety of devices.
NVIDIA Tegra was tested on HP Mini 1000. The system showed the possibility of video output 720p without any problems. In the ultimate analysis, this technology can be used to broadcast video on the laptop HD 1080p MID. And now the company is working on creating a device with such functionality at a price of $99 (for OEM partners).
NVIDIA promises to indicate the timing of the release of devices based on Tegra processors at Computex in June of this year .
