Double the power and dual-core CPU


Tegra one is slowly becoming popular and interesting, especially since it drives Zune HD, and it is doing it much faster than we expected, so it is just natural that there will be a new Tegra chip following up.

The chip that we chose to call Tegra 2 should come in 2010 and it will basically have twice the computational and graphics power of its predecessor. This is something that has been confirmed by high ranking industry sources.

Tegra 2 will use ARM 9 Coretex , a dual core ARM CPU, something that will push the CPU part even further. The main target is of course the smartphone market, but Nvidia won't tell no to the automotive industry, music player industry and anyone who wants to make a small portable device that can play audio, games and videos well.

Jensen wants Tegra to account for more than half of Nvidia's revenue in the next few years, so let's hope for their sake that they can do good job agains Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and other players.
