With interest in subnotebooks, UMPCs and powerful portable media players heating up, competition to produce the hardware that powers these hot-selling new devices is also getting fierce. Intel has its Atom mobile processor, Via has its new Nano, and now, Nvidia is also getting in on the game with the Tegra line of processors.
Deviating from its traditional focus exclusively on graphics chips, the Tegra will be an all-in-one system on a chip with a footprint no bigger than a dime. That tiny footprint will roll together an 800MHz ARM processor, HD video processor, and GeForce GPU, to deliver enhanced graphics in mobile platforms.
