NVIDIA adds games to Tegra 3 optimized list
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesCPUTabletsnVIDIA
The gaming outlook on Android is looking pretty solid in the near future, especially on Tegra devices. NVIDIA has always been proactive about getting the support of developers, which even led to the creation of the Tegra Zone app to make it easier for users to find games which have been optimized for Tegra multi-core processors.
NVIDIA has continued the trend today, announcing a bunch of new games which will be coming optimized for Tegra-powered devices. The games announced are Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2, Bucket, Golden Arrow THD, Dark Kingdom THD, Eden to Greeeen, and Hamilton's Great Adventure.

NVIDIA Tegra 3 smartphones to ship this quarter, says CEO
Like UnlikeFiled in: nVIDIA
During NVIDIA’s earnings call on Wednesday, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang told investors that quad-core Tegra 3 smartphones would ship this quarter. “This quarter we are expecting to ship Tegra 3 based superphones,” Huang said. “At Mobile World Congress is when we expect to announce these devices, and we expect to announce and ship them this quarter.” The company also announced that its 3G/4G LTE system on a chip will be coming to devices sometime this year. The current generation of LTE phones and tablets use radio chips that are separate from the processor, however numerous companies are looking to integrate LTE into a single chipset. ”We will have shipping modems this year, hopefully sooner than lat...

NVIDIA reports Q4 2012 earnings: annual revenue up 12.8 percent, net income doubles
Like UnlikeFiled in: nVIDIA
If you thought we were done with the numbers game, think again. NVIDIA has just pushed out its figures for Q4 of FY 2012 and things are looking good. Revenue for the quarter was $953 million, a 10.6 percent decline over Q3, but if you look over the entire year revenue increased 12.8 percent over fiscal 2011. Net income, too, was down compared to Q3, but looking annually, when compared to 2011 income more than doubled, from 253 million to 581. CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was predictably pleased with the outcome, saying: "We expect continued growth ahead, as Tegra 3 powers a new wave of quad-core super phones and Kepler, our next-generation GPU architecture, sets new standards in visual and parallel co...

Investment analyst sees big gains for NVIDIA Tegra 3 in 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: nVIDIA
NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 chipset showed up in many early dual-core smartphones in 2011, and were the SoC of choice for the Android tablet market for almost the entire year. Yet the Tegra 2 was largely abandoned in smartphones by the end of the year, as dual-core chips from Texas Instruments and Samsung dominated later smartphone releases. And NVIDIA’s standing in the Android tablet market didn’t help it as much as anticipated, as Honeycomb tablets failed to gain significant traction, and the bestselling non-iPad tablet – the Amazon Kindle Fire – chose TI’s OMAP CPU over Tegra 2.
With Intel getting its first mobile chips ready to ship, has NVIDIA’s star fallen already? Not true, says FBR Capital anal...

AMD Radeon HD 7950 released in two weeks

AMD is planning to unveil its Radeon HD 7950 graphics card by the end of January, while NVIDIA is anticipated to introduce its 28nm Kepler GPU in April, at the latest. The sources noted that Nvidia wishes to make sure that the power consumption and the manufacturing process of the graphics chip all reach perfection before entering the 28nm generation. Since Nvidia is set to release its 28nm graphics card around the same time as Intel's upcoming 22nm Ivy Bridge processor, the sources believe Kepler series GPUs may have a chance to catch up with the demand for Intel's new CPUs.

NVIDIA's next high-performance GPU that will attempt to restore NVIDIA's performance leadership in the consumer graphics segment, under the GeForce Kepler family, is slated for a March-April launch, according to a VR-Zone report. At CES 2012, NVIDIA focused on its Tegra product line, and demonstrated its applications in smartphones, tablets, and even automotives, but chose to avoid talking about its GeForce family. According to the report, NVIDIA wants to avoid doing a paper-launch like AMD, which launched its Radeon HD 7970 on December 22, 2011, but its market availability was non-existent till after two weeks, on January 9, 2012.

In a fully green-lit environment on the first full day of CES 2012, NVIDIA’s Jen-Hsng Huang outlined their 2012 focus, and all was quad-core. The event began with Huang speaking about how they’d be moving through Tablets, a secret additional feature of Tegra 3, and vehicle integration. As tablets are, as evidence shows, the quickest selling device category in mobile history, so too will NVIDIA continue to concentrate on the category for their hero devices.
For the tablets, Huang noted that a big moment in Android was the moment it was revealed that Gingerbread and Honeycomb were combined in Ice Cream Sandwich. All the devices now, he reminds us, are in one single platform. Content developers...

NVIDIA announces DirectTouch for Tegra3 devices, promises smoother touchscreen experiences
Like UnlikeFiled in: nVIDIA
During their CES presentation today NVIDIA introduced a new technology: DirectTouch. Exclusive to Tegra3 devices, DirectTouch will utilize the low-power 5th core to create a smoother, more responsive touchscreen experience.
While Ice Cream Sandwich has brought the smoothest touch and scrolling experience yet to Android, in the end Android still processes some interface interactions in the same CPU stack as the rest of the operating system, which once in a while leads to a lag between a touch input and response. If DirectTouch can reduce or eliminate that by offloading some of the touchscreen computation to the low-power 5th core, NVIDIA might have a real differentiator on its hands.

Chinese tackling human genome with NVIDIA GPUs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
Analyzing data of the human genome is no small task. However, with the help of graphic chips, what once took genome sequencing centers days to complete, can be done in six hours. To accomplish this, BGI, a lab headquartered in Shenzhen, China, have given their servers a facelift with Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) built by Nvidia. That’s right, the same hardware that outputs images onto personal computers around the world, could account for major advances in the medical field.
