Detailed explanations given to DigitalFoundry say the sequel to the DSi should use the future NVIDIA processor and not only see a "colossal" jump in speed versus the DS line but could be as fast as the Wii while supporting more visual effects.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/16/nintendo.ds.2.psp.2.nay.get.fast.cpus/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/mobinnova.to.bring.beam.netbook.to.att/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/mobibeamin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A recently spotted FCC filing reveals that the netbook formerly known as the élan from Mobinnova will soon be coming to wireless provider AT&T, as evidenced by the BEAMATT product ID. If the specs remain the same as the élan, this means an 8.9-inch screen and processing power from NVIDIA's Tegra processor, which combine to output 720p HD video files and accelerated Flash content.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/mobinnova.to.bring.beam.netbook.to.att/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/icd.vega.may.beat.apple.to.large.tablets/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/icdvega.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Newcomer ICD late yesterday confirmed first details of a tablet design that promises to be one of the first in a new category of large media devices. Previously teased by NVIDIA's CEO, the Vega has a large 15.6-inch, 1366x768 resistive touchscreen and will have the performance to drive it through an NVIDIA Tegra chipset. Besides faster rendering, it should theoretically give the Vega 720p video ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/icd.vega.may.beat.apple.to.large.tablets/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/09/nvidia.says.gpus.still.only.focus/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/nvidiafermi-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />NVIDIA chief Jen-Hsun Huang has denied rekindled talk of his company making x86 processors. Speaking after a conference call, the CEO claims that his focus is still "very, very clear" and that the focus is on graphics processors and closely related parallel computing cards like the Tesla line. The only full processors that NVIDIA is making are mobile chips like the ARM-based Tegra series for han... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/09/nvidia.says.gpus.still.only.focus/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/05/tegra.2.may.go.dual.core.use.arm9/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/nvidiategraapx2500.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A source today claims the sequel to NVIDIA's Tegra mobile processor could muster double the performance of the original. The new chip is purported by "high ranking" industry contacts to be switching from an ARM7 architecture to the much newer ARM9 and also to use a dual-core design. Combined with improvements to the graphics core, the updated Tegra would be roughly twice as fast overall.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/05/tegra.2.may.go.dual.core.use.arm9/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/msi.reader.due.first.half.2010/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/nvidiategraapx2500.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />MSI is developing an e-book reader that would use NVIDIA's Tegra processor at its core, the company's chairman Joseph Hsu says today. Confirming an earlier rumor, the executive admits that a device with the fast graphics and ARM chip combo is in progress but has "some problems" that have pushed a formal unveiling back until sometime in the first half of 2010. Other details will likely only be su... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/msi.reader.due.first.half.2010/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/13/nintendo.said.due.to.use.next.tegra.chip/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/nintendodsi-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nintendo's next-generation DS may be powerful enough to rival the current iPod touch in terms of power if a purported source is accurate. Contacts at BSN say NVIDIA has won a contract with Nintendo to use a variant of the Tegra chipset in a future handheld. Which model would be used is unknown, but it's still expected to be a single-chip design and may be a second-generation Tegra rather than th... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/13/nintendo.said.due.to.use.next.tegra.chip/ Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/05/adobe.unveils.flash.101.without.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/palmpre-flash.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Adobe at its MAX show launched Flash 10.1, a major update to its plugin that promises video on devices that normally haven't been capable. The release adds hardware graphics acceleration on computers and should make HD Flash video possible on netbooks and ultraportables and standard definition possible on smartphones.
