Computex 08: Much smaller and more powerful


Nvidia launched a frontal attack against Intel - again. Tegra is Nvidia’s new toy that needs less than 1W, while Atom needs at least 12W, but with a display we believe Atom ends up needing least 30W. Tegra is actually a system chip while Atom needs a power-greedy chipset.

Nvidia's General Manager of the mobile business unit, Michael Rayfield, said that with the same battery Tegra can do 26 hours of HD on one charge, whereas Atom is capable of 1 to 2 hrs. Tegra is good for emails and you can do 20 plus hours of video, while Atom would be coping with emails for only an hour or two.

Tegra internet device notebook can also run Quake 3 at 35FPS. It is cool, but it just isn’t X-86.
