Semiconductor Vendor with ARM Processor RTL license from ARM

Product Description

Key Innovations

  • Super 4-PLUS-1™ Quad Core with 5th Battery Saver Core - Four plus one refers to Tegra 3’s quad CPU cores, plus the 5th, battery-saver CPU core. In addition to four main Cortex A9 high-performance CPU cores, Tegra 3 has a fifth low power, low leakage Cortex A9 CPU core called the ‘Battery Saver’ CPU core that is optimized to minimize active standby state power consumption, and handle less demanding processing tasks.
  • NVIDIA DirectTouch™ - This is a patent-pending architecture that improves touch responsiveness and reduces power consumption by offloading a portion of the touch processing onto the NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 processor.
  • 3D Stereo Gaming - This capability leverages NVIDIA’s award-winning NVIDIA 3D Vision® technology to automatically, and in real-time, convert OpenGL based games and apps into Stereo 3D.
  • NVIDIA PRISM Display Technology - PRISM (or Pixel Rendering Intensity and Saturation Management) reduces a mobile device’s backlight power while simultaneously enhancing the pixel color to deliver the same visual quality with substantially extended battery life.
