Nvidia announces its latest generation mobile processor at CES 2013-- the Tegra 4. The company claims it is the fastest yet, with "record-setting performance and battery life."
The Tegra 4 retains the 4-plus-1 setup of the Tegra 3 while using new architecture with 72 GPU cores and, rumours insist, a 28nm manufacturing process (up from 40nm for the Tegra 3).
The CPU inside is the quad-core ARM Cortex A-15.
Nvidia promises not only superior power consumption (up to 45% less than the previous chip) but also advanced mobile high-dynamic range (HDR) photography and video capabilities, demoed at the show by CEO Jen-Hsun Huang on an unnamed Windows RT tablet.
Global 4G LTE voice and data support comes through an optional chipset, the 5th generation Nvidia Icera i500.
Nvidia gives no release date for the Tegra 4, which also resides in the company's newly revealed Project Shield handheld gaming device.
