NVIDIA Tegra 3, equipped with 1.5GHz quad-core madness, teased by a familar slide

How aggressive can NVIDIA get? That’s the question puzzling our brainboxes right now as we gaze upon the complete version of the slide that let us know about a potential Tegra 2 3D chip over the weekend. It’s not every day you hear of a 1.5GHz quad-core mobile SOC, but our discovery of corroborating evidence for the T25 module sitting alongside it makes us more willing to credit the possibility of a Blu-ray-crunching, 13,800 MIPS-capable, multicore Cortex-A9 Tegra 3 . Moreover, the roadmap of production samples in Q4 of 2010 fits perfectly with NVIDIA’s claim that Tegra 3 was ” almost done ” in September of that year. The ULP designation on this listing stands for Ultra Low Power in NVIDIA parlance, which would indicate an aggressively tuned power management system — the only way we can envision a quad-core anything operating within a tablet. Fall 2011 is when we should know for sure. NVIDIA Tegra 3, equipped with 1.5GHz quad-core madness, teased by a familar slide originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 24 Jan 2011 07:06:00 EDT.
