nVidia announces Tegra 4 processor

NVIDIA today officially announced their latest Tegra 4 processor. This quad-core processor improces on the very popular Tegra 3 smartphone CPU from last year.

The Tegra 4 retain the 4 CPU cores (uses Cortex A15 chips) but improved on the graphics a lot.

From the Tegra 3′s 12 GPU cores, Tegra 4 now has 72 GeForce GPU cores. That’s 6 times more than the one on Tegra 3.

Tegra 4 will also support 4K ultra high-definition video (4 times 1080p for recording and playback). There’s also support for built-in LTE modem, something that is lacking from the old Tegra 3. Tegra 4 also handles HDR very well that it can take photos and apply HDR almost instantaneously (around 0.2 seconds vs. the 2.0 seconds on the iPhone 5).

There’s no announcement yet when this will be available and which smartphones will carry it but we’re excited to wait for further announcements from handset makers during CES.

Chinese website, Chiphell, has recently revealed some of the details of NVidia’s upcoming System-on-Chip. The leak suggests that the Tegra 4 Wayne will have six times more GPU cores than the chip manufacturer’s current offering. If you do the math, that should equate to a groundbreaking 72-cores!

When used correctly, the Tegra 4’s 72-core GPU will be able to support devices with an eye-popping WQXGA (2560 x 1600) display with 120Hz refresh rate or displays with 4K resolution (4-times Full HD).

In addition to its mammoth GPU, this 28nm SoC will sport a fifth battery saving core just like its predecessor and USB 3.0 support right of the bat. Accompanying the processor is a DDR3L RAM and a high-performance imaging chip to aid the handset in producing high quality stills and clips.

We’re expecting NVidia to give us a sneak peek of their upcoming torch bearer in next year’s Consumer Electronic Show. We hope we can fly to Vegas for the said event to bring you guys the latest buzz in the tech industry and be up close and personal with the NVidia Tegra 4 Wayne.
