Nvidia Announces Tegra Chips For MIDs

Joining Intel and VIA, graphics chipmaker Nvidia on Sunday announced a series of chips aimed at the small, fast devices.

Nvidia's new processors, the Tegra 600 and Tegra 650, and the previously announced APX2500 used in handsets and smartphones, will be used in devices known as mobile Internet devices, or MIDs.

The Tegra chips will be smaller than a dime, and have an all-in-one structure. Nvidia's Tegra chips will use an ARM 11 central processing unit core as their main electronic brain. The Tegra chips are low-power-consuming, and also include system memory, a media processor, a graphics processing unit and peripherals, according to a statement by Mike Rayfield, general manager of Nvidia's mobile business.

The Tegra 650 also has support for NTSC/PAL TV-out, WSXGA+ LCD and CRT and 1080p HDMI. The Tegra 650 also has direct support for keyboards, disk drives, Wi-Fi and other peripherals.

The Tegra chips can achieve up to 10 times the power efficiency of similar products, due to the processors' low-power architecture. Tegra chips will make devices capable of playback for 120 hours of audio, or 30 hours of HD video before recharging.

Devices using Tegra processors should be available by the end of the year.
