Small update on the situation of the Tegra chips. Tegra 2 is imposed on the Android tablets but these sales are not sufficient to allow Nvidia to achieve its objectives.
While the Asus Transformer differential, first tablet integrating a chip Tegra 3, SoC Nvidia quad-core (but not Optimus... haha), prepares to leave, it is time for the firm to the Chameleon to make a first review on Tegra 2. ARM chip which was the first to integrate two hearts of execution, which allowed him to quickly imposed himself as unmistakable Android tablets processor. Whether the Galaxy Tab, the Tab A500 Iconia or even the first Asus transforming, all embark this SoC. Logical when you know that this chip has been selected by Google as a focal point for the Android Honeycomb shelves platform.
A success which was less to the appointment on the market of smartphones, where manufacturers prefer the Qualcomm chips or their own ARM home, such as the Exynos Samsung or the A5 at Apple. Outcome of the races, the curves of sales would not allow Nvidia to achieve its objectives with Tegra 2, which had been fixed at 25 million copies shipped.
However, Nvidia continues to believe in its Tegra line, having set the same ambitious Tegra 3, and this targets despite the resurgence of competition on the market of the ARM SoC. Indeed, chip quad-core Nvidia (not to mention his companion heart) will be strong to knowing that she not was chosen as a reference platform by Google for Android 4.0, and that Qualcomm as Texas Instruments come with a new generation of chips ahead superstar on paper. The part is not lost or poorly engaged for the moment, but Nvidia will have to get up the sleeves to impose its Tegra.
