14 DAY TRIAL // During the most recent conference call with financial analysts, NVIDIA express quite a bit of optimism in regards to the upcoming successor to the Tegra 2 system-on-chip.
NVIDIA is once more making the news, once again in an official capacity, only a short time after the completion of the Quadro 275.89 WHQL display driver.
What the company did was hold its latest conference call with financial analysts, where it did more than report on its revenues.
The outfit saw no harm in outlining some of the brighter prospects of the future, with the Tegra platform getting a special mention.
One thing that the GPU and SoC maker strove to emphasize is the stark performance advantage that the Tegra 3 Kal-El will have in comparison to the Tegra 2.
“[...] This is, it is really a great breakthrough based on the technology we call variable SMP, variable symmetric multiprocessing, that makes it possible for us to achieve much higher performance where performance is needed and much lower power in almost everything that you do," said Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia.
We already covered that part in this particular article, though the company's words in regards to the mobile platform did not stop there.
The company also said that it already has a significant number of design wins for Kal-El, even as those for Tegra 2 have gone up. Products should be available starting in Q4.
"We ramped [our Tegra business] up pretty hard, and we have a whole lot of new design wins on Tegra 2, and we have a whole lot of new design wins on Kal-El. [...] I would say that the [Tegra] business is doing better than on track in a sense that our design win momentum is better than ever," added the Chief Executive of the Santa Clara company.
