We already wrote about the next generation of mobile chips from NVIDIA, but had to wait for the CES 2013 exhibition to see it officially, and here is – the new Tegra 4, it will reach smartphones, tablets and laptops. As well as its predecessor, Tegra 4 relies on the quad Cortex-A15 main processor clocked at 1.9 GHz, which is complemented by a fifth core with a very low power consumption. However, this time is used a completely new architecture that includes a GeForce graphic accelerator with 72 cores – wow!
NVIDIA’s Tegra 4 processor is produced using a new 28nm technology, which is a significant improvement compared to the 40nm used in Tegra 3, which will affect not only the size of the chip, but also and its energy consumption.
