Nvidia Tegra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NVIDIA Tegra is a system-on-a-chip with an ARM processor developed by NVIDIA for mobile devices such as smartphones, PDAs and MIDs.
The line-up currently consists of the Tegra APX 2500, Tegra APX 2600, Tegra 600, and Tegra 650 processors. The APX series is targeted at smartphones, with the 600 and 650 series targeted at smartbook and MID markets.[1] The Tegra is a "computer on a chip" which integrates the CPU, GPU, northbridge, southbridge and memory controller onto a single package. The first product to use the Tegra was Microsoft's high-profile Zune HD released in September 2009. This was shortly followed by Samsung's iteration in the form of Samsung M1.
The APX 2500 was first announced on February 12, 2008 and followed by the announcement of the Tegra product line on June 2, 2008[2]; the APX 2600 was announced in February 2009. On September 9, 2008, NVIDIA and Opera Software announced that they will produce a version of the Opera 9.5 browser optimised for the Tegra on Windows Mobile and Windows CE.[3][4] On Mobile World Congress 2009 the port of Android to Tegra platform was presented by Nvidia.
