Nvidia has lots of optimism, I will give them that. I hope they pull it off, but am skeptical.

Bring on Transformer 2!!

I heard some nasty things about this chip, namely that it is still using a single bus to interface with memory and that it doesn't perform as well as many would think because the cores are constantly waiting on memory.

I'm hoping it isn't true.

 

[darkchazz]

That sounds great.
What I don't like though is them paying game developers to make their games exclusive for tegra devices, I mean seriously nvidia, ANDROID DOES NOT NEED MORE FRAGMENTATION!

[citation][nom]mobrocket[/nom]sounds like a non starter at Xmas time, unless that have a great price at black friday...[/citation]
Products may not even be available by Christmas.. They almost definitely wont be available on Black Friday.

I can speculate on why non-Apple tablets can't sell. Blame on the OS - Gingerbread is the most unfriendly piece of software I've used in a long time.

Windows 8 on tablets could work quite well with this chip... providing it's as good as nvidia says.

Most of this fragmentation will be solved by Ice Cream Sammich on the OS level.

... or so they say.

Oh no! iCrapple is likely to sue because someone else came up with the idea of a quad core tablet. Its like "if you are it you are it", the world according to iCrap,

Apple sues in 3...2.....1.....

 

[tuxino]

@greghome Yeah! Superman!

 

[silver565]

Can you imagine how amusing it'd be if the tablets were advertised the way apple does their products?

"A new revolutionary product. with 4 seperate cores. Giving you the power to do anything"

Now all android needs is some games that give it justice.

 

[chronicbint]

Now all android tablets need are some apps.

 

[back_by_demand]

Please someone let me be able to install Windows 8 on one of these and I will be a happy man

Cool. 4cores. I'm more interested in Android 4.0 please. Hardware is fine. Lets perfect the software first!
