NVIDIA unveils world’s fastest mobile
processor


The Tegra 4 also has a second-generation battery saver core and
PRISM 2 Display Technology that allows it to consume up to 45%
less power than its predecessor and enabling up to 14 hours of HD video playback on phones


 The Consumer Electronics Shows 2013 was once again a spectacle to behold as it gave
companies such as NVIDIA a stage to showcase their most groundbreaking new technology and
devices. For NVIDIA, they wowed everyone with their impressive Project Shield handheld gaming
device, Grid gaming system and of course the world’s fastest processor, the Tegra 4, which
boasts record-setting performance and battery life to flawlessly power smartphones and tablets,
gaming devices, auto infotainment and navigation systems and PCs.
 
Previously codenamed “Wayne”, the Tegra 4 Super Processor features 72 custom NVIDIA GeForce GPU cores, six times more than the GPU horsepower of its predecessor which in turn
allows it to deliver more realistic gaming experiences and higher resolution displays. It also includes the first quad-core application of ARM’s most advanced CPU core, the Cortex-A15,
which delivers 2.6x faster web browser and breakthrough performance for apps.
 
“Tegra 4 provides enormous processing power and efficiency to power smartphones and  tablets, gaming devices, auto systems and PCs,” said Mr. Phil Carmack, Senior Vice President
A C C of the Tegra business at NVIDIA. “Its new capabilities, particularly in the area of computational photography, will help improve a whole range of existing products and lead to the creation of exciting new ones.”
 
Besides just great graphics, part of the Tegra 4’s breakthrough is its Computational Photography Architecture, which automatically delivers High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos and
videos by fusing together the processing power of the GPU, CPU and the camera’s image-signal processor.
