14 DAY TRIAL // There's promise, there's ambition, and then there is the occasional instance where someone claims they have accomplished or will accomplish something so great that the world will change because of it.
NVIDIA has made a claim of the sort in regard to the mobile device market: as soon as application processors with Kepler and Maxwell graphics cores debut, everyone involved in the segment will supposedly change how they do things.
Obviously, this is mostly marketing talk, but we have to admit that the Tegra 5 Logan SoC is looking promising (due 2014) and, if it really proves easy to port GPGPU-accelerated programs to a new microprocessor architecture, there will even be an upsurge in mobile games.
On the side, NVIDIA will benefit from ARM's activities too, like rising quality in applications that use GPGPU and the booster procession power.
All that remains is for software makers to start using OpenCL developer kits more.
