nVidia Tegra 250 Dual-core ARM Cortex A9 Mobile Processor announced atCES

NVIDIA has launched its Next Generation Tegra, the world’s first processor for the mobile web, specifically designed for the high-resolution needs of tablets, the new nVidia Tegra 250 processor. NVIDIA’s new Tegra processor delivers a truly portable, high-resolution, no-compromise Internet experience by combining lightning-quick browsing, streaming 1080p video and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 acceleration with an immersive 3D user interface and days of battery life.

Key to Tegra’s capabilities are eight independent processors, including the world’s first dual core CPU for mobile applications. These processors are used together or independently to optimize power usage at all times. With its ultra low-power design, Tegra delivers over 16 hours of HD video or 140 hours of music—on a single charge.

Tegra is the power behind the new generation of tablets, offering:
+ 3D touchscreen user interfaces
+ Amazing battery life— always-on and always-connected

+ Resolution ranging from four-to-eight times that of smartphones
+ Form factors and screen sizes ranging from 5-15 inches
+ Immersive gaming, vivid photos and video, and crystal-clear audio

Next Generation Tegra is a leap in mobile computing performance with:
+ The world’s first dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU running up to 1GHz
+ Eight independent processors to handle web browsing, HD video encode and decode and mobile 3D gaming
+ 10x faster than the processors used in smartphones today, and up to 4x the performance of the previous generation Tegra processor
+ Advanced TSMC 40nm process with active power management

Next Generation Tegra is now in production. Developers can order the Tegra Developer Kit to create applications for Tegra-powered devices such as tablets, smartbooks and smartphones at developer.nvidia.com/tegra.
