Mountain House (CA) - X-bit Labs is reporting the discovery of a new brand recently registered by Nvidia: Tegra, which could signify a third product brand in the works.

The brand was caught very early and there is very little information available about it so far - what we know for sure is that this new brand will describe "Integrated Circuits" in the Goods & Services (G & S) category. Integrated Circuits can mean a lot of things, though with Nvidia’s legal team failing to provide information about the brand’s expanded use, we do not yet know for sure what Tegra is.

Tegra looks like it will be the third brand in Nvidia’s product portfolio, following GeForce (including nForce), Quadro and Tesla. Tesla is the newest brand in the company’s lineup and was introduced as a name for the firm’s supercomputing products. The name Tesla goes back to Nicola Tesla, a Serbian physicist and electrical engineer, but there are no such clear hints with Tegra.

Tegra is a widely used company name in design, healthcare, financial, analysis and consulting industries. You can buy Tegra toner cartridges, or 1940’s comics with Tegra, the Jungle Empress. Owners of the Acura Integra also like to call their car the "Tegra". So, your guess is as good as ours what it actually will be.
