NVIDIA Enters the Mobile CPU Market
Vigile writes "NVIDIA just announced the new Tegra line, a complete system architecture on one chip. Built around a licensed x86 ARM 11 CPU, this tiny chip (smaller than a US dime) includes a processor, memory controller, southbridge, and 3D and video processors. The SoC design is meant to give iPhone-type devices a more impressive visual experiences while maintaining idle power consumption under 100 mW. While not a direct competitor to Intel's Atom or VIA's Nano processors, the NVIDIA Tegra will no doubt push the envelope in handhelds and cement NVIDIA's place in the world of computing going forward."
Typo? Ha, fat chance! When was the last time a /. summary had a typo in it?
What is the performance like compared to Blue Steel and Magnum?
Screw that, I will only buy an ARM if it's an x86 ARM. I need to run Vista, a computer is not a computer without Vista!!

Yeah, "corpie" isn't obnoxious at all.
"Modern cores come with OoO"... is that some weird new smiley or have they etched a copy of openoffice into the microcode prom?

Not quite the exact same thing... this one is LESS accurate ;)
If it was an x86, it would be mostly 'armless.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
