news 28 Posted June 2, 2008 Today NVIDIA is announcing its Tegra line of products which are aimed at the mobile market and are designed as essentially a "system on a chip". This is not exactly NVIDIA's first foray into the world of mobile devices, but it certainly is their first that contains the graphics core, southbridge, and a full Arm 11 CPU. We are not quite at the point of saying watch out Intel and AMD, but from what I have seen so far the Tegra lineup is pretty impressive considering what it is able to do and how it is able to do it.

In the Tegra line the CPU acts as the conductor of the platform, but most of the performance features that NVIDIA is pushing are actually accelerated by the graphics portion of the platform. Consider how video decode and encode has gone from the CPU to the GPU in the past several years. This is merely an extension of that overall trend, but trimmed down to the very basics."
