nVidia Tegra 650 Mobile Processor

nVidia Tegra 650 Mobile Processor. NVIDIA introduced the Tegra family of processors, the world’s first single-chip computer capable of the rich high definition and internet experiences we’ve come to expect from our PCs, but on small pocket type devices. NVIDIA Tegra is a tiny computer-on-a-chip, smaller than a US dime (10-cent piece), designed from the ground up to enable the “visual PC experience” on a new generation of mobile computing devices while consuming the smallest amount of power.

The NVIDIA Tegra 650 processor is the second product in the Tegra line, the first being the NVIDIA Tegra APX 2500 processor, which is enabling the next generation of Windows Mobile smartphones. With the launch of this new processor, the NVIDIA Tegra products will reach consumers towards the end of the year.

NVIDIA Tegra is a heterogeneous processor architecture with multiple processors, each architected for a specific class of tasks – an 800 MHz ARM CPU, a HD video processor, an imaging processor, an audio processor, and an ultra-low power GeForce® GPU These processors are used together or independently to deliver a wonderful experience while utilizing a minute amount of power. With this heterogeneous ultra-low-power processor architecture, NVIDIA Tegra processors achieve up to 10 times the power efficiency of existing products in battery-operated computer systems running compelling visual computing applications.

NVIDIA Tegra 650 Features:
+ All-day media processing, for 130 hours audio, 30 hours HD video playback
+ HD image processing for advanced digital still camera and HD camcorder functions
