NVIDIA presents the world
NVIDIA presented the NVIDIA Tegra 4, the world’s fastest mobile processor, with a record battery performance and life to give life to smartphones, tablets, gaming devices, info-entertainment, automotive navigation systems and PCs.
Tegra 4 offers an exceptional graphics processing, with faster internet browsing, unique visual appearance and new capabilities for cameras through computational photography.
Previously called “Wayne”, Tegra 4 has NVIDIA GeForce 72-core GPU– or six times the power of the Tegra 3 GPU – which delivers a more realistic gaming experience and a screen with higher resolution. The Tegra 4 includes the first CPU with 4 ARM cores, the Cortex-A15, which has a 2.6 times faster performance for web browsing and incredible performance for applications.
Tegra 4 also provides voice support and world data for 4G LTE through an optional chipset, the fifth generation processor NVIDIA lcera i500. It is more efficient and it is 40% smaller than conventional modems, i500 has 4 times the processing capacity than its predecessor.
“Tegra 4 provides an enormous processing power and efficiency for giving life to smartphones, tablets, gaming devices, automotive services and PCs”, said Phil Carmack, Senior Vice President of the Tegra business unit at NVIDIA. “Its new capacities, particularly in the area of computational photography, will help a wide range of existing product and guide the creation of new ones.”
Computational Photography Capacity
In the Tegra 4 processor, we find Computational Photography Architecture, which automatically provides videos and photos in high dynamic range (HDR), merging the processing power of the GPU, CPU and the camera’s image-signal processor. It is the HDR capacity that captures images, including those taken with flash, as seen by the human eye – giving detail in bright areas as well as dark.
Unprecedented Efficiency Power
Designed to give maximum energy efficiency, Tegra 4 includes a second generation battery saving core for low consumption during basic use, and a screen with PRISM 2 technology which reduces the energy consumption by the background screen to show better graphics.
Tegra 4 consumes less than 45 percent the energy than its predecessor, Tegra 3, in its most daily uses. And it allows up to 14 hours of video reproduction on phones.
