Nvidia CEO: We Are Working On Next Generation Surface

    No, because Intel's Haswell has an integrated GPU that obviates nVidia's participation as a GPU provider. There is no point in bringing Haswell into an nVidia discussion, nor bringing nVidia into a Haswell, except for comparison. They are mutually exclusive for everything except comparison purposes. They are not going to be combined together into a product.

    BTW: While the NVidia Tegra Surface led to $900M in writedowns for Microsoft, the device is was built on - the Asus Prime - continues to sell and make profits to this day with an Android OS. The next gen product released before Surface RT launched - the Asus Infinity - is even more successful and profitable.

    Please don't, Microsoft, I deal with outlook and exchange everyday. From Office 2003 through 2013, server 2003 through 2012, exchange 2003 - 2013, noting but a giant hunk of crap taking up rack space. Nothing but problems, problems and more problems. The little linux server tucked away at the bottom of the rack with a little layer of dust on it? Never has a problem. But those windows servers? Countless hours of sleep lost by all employees because of how often they go down. Please don't include outlook, it hardly works with your own exchange server and works far worse with technologies not developed by you. For the sake of what hair is left on my head, PLEASE STOP.

    Um, WTF are you smoking? Tegra is an ARM chip. The current Surface RT (ARM) runs on the Tegra 3. The new version will, apparently, run on Tegra 4.
