Years after Google’s Open Handset Alliance brought Android into cellphones, the company forms the Open Automotive Alliance – and that as you might guess is aimed at bringing Google’s operating system to automobiles. The alliance consists of Google & NVidia together with Audi, Honda, Hyundai & GM.

The objective of the alliance is to push forward innovation in cars and to create an open ecosystem for safer and more intuitive automobile technology. Fruits of the said project will already be realized as early as this year – 2014, so that’s definitely something to look forward to. Probably coming soon in a car dealer near you – a Honda City with Google Integration, a Hyundai Tucson 4G or an Audi Nexus Q7.

Next-gen NVidia Tegra 5 will outperform PS3, Xbox 360

Gaming consoles are still one of the best mediums to play graphic intensive games. Currently, mobile devices lag behind in this category but according to Nvidia, its next generation mobile processor will outperform the PS3 and Xbox 360.

“The PS3 and Xbox 360 are barely more powerful than mobile devices… The next click of mobile phones will outperform [them],” said Tony Tamasi, Senior Vice President of Content & Technology for Nvidia. The next click of mobile phones that Tamasi is referring to are those that will sport the successor to the Tegra 4. It could be the Tegra 5 (codenamed Logan) or the Tegra 6 (codenamed Parker).

In comparison, Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 have 200 giga FLOPS (Floating-point Operations Per Second) of processing power. The Tegra 3 runs at 12 GFLOPS while the Tegra 4, which is now being used in Project Shield, is capable of 80 GFLops. Tegra’s huge leap in GPU prowess is remarkable but still no match if pitted against the PS4′s 1.8 tera FLOPS. The only weapon Nvidia currently has in its arsenal that can crush the PS4′s performance is the Titan PC graphics card at 4.5 tera FLOPS.

On a personal note, I think Nvidia should do a Tony Stark and miniaturize the Titan and cram it inside a smartphone or a tablet.
