Nvidia Tegra Netbooks
I have recently been writing articles on Nvidia’s new processor range the Tegra and CSX. I was also going to investigate where this processor will be used, how will they compare to Intel’s counter-part the Atom.
I will be concentrating on the Tegra model processors, Nvidia are using these tiny processors for small laptops and notebooks. As we are aware the processor can render high definition video but can also handle graphically heavy games.
Now I can release some information on what the processor is used for (Thank You Computex). At Computex Nvidia are set to release more details on the Tegra 650 and 600 series processors. The processors are aimed at light, portable based hardware which can be fitted with a 12” screen, a keyboard, high-speed wireless and a joy pad/Stick port (USB ?).
Nvidia has dubbed the devices Mobile Internet Devices ‘Mids’ not MIDI!. Other vendors have called the miniature laptops ‘netbooks’ which is the inherited new branded name for mobile hardware. If Intel and Nvidia never started battle would the so called netbook be created? I know Apple started the miniature laptop scene but I don’t see their products as direct competition, remember we are talking budget based laptops here!
One query I must highlight is Intel and Nvidia processors boast full 1080p running at 25/ 60 fps. When running these modes how will the 12” display justify the display quality? Nvidia could be focusing some of their processors into other products. It’s not over yet! Nvidia could have other products in mind. Remember Nvidia have different series of processors So the Tegra 650 may be used in a multimedia intensive operations.
