    News - NVIDIA Icera 4G LTE modem

    Great product, then has NVIDIA priced itself out of the 4G LTE market?

    Glad nvidia are at least worried by the S4's ability to beat or match their 'killer' quad core with only a dual core part;
    Obviously gpu is a different story, but if Qualcomm can bring the S4 Pro part out with decent gpu + higher clocks, then Kal El is going to look quite the fool...

    FYI an overclocked Galaxy S2 (approx 1.6ghz) benches faster than tegra 3 in everything except certain gpu benches, so Ive yet to see why nvidia crowed about the T3 - if the samsung gs3 is even half what the rumours make it out to be, samsung will have shown again that making their own SOC is worthwhile!

    Cause the benchmarks are flawed? A tegra 2 chip can beat samsungs offerings at the same clock speeds... it depends on the device used and hows its optimised, i know using EXT4 over EXT3 on my O2x can increase benchmarks by over 80%! Yet theres no tangible difference...

    NVIDIA actually bought a Bristol company called Icera about 10 months ago, so I guess this is on of the first things to come forth since that acquisition. All this means NVIDIA has an office here in Brizzle, and I know a few people who have worked, do work, or will soon work there

    Have you ever tried doing something as simple as playing an HD video on a Tegra 2 device? I was embarrassed for nvidia when I tried. That same video flys on a samsung exynos based device.My Galaxy S2 and GTab 7.7 don't even blink while my thankfully sold off GTab 10.1 would play it like a slideshow.

    That's caused by one of two things, firstly, that most High-Profile h.264 wasn't accelerated by the graphics card, which it was on most subsequently released chips and secondly, that if the video wasn't accelerated, there was no support for ARM NEON vector acceleration and so the CPU was terrible at handling media tasks that couldn't be handed off to the GPU.

    Happy to say both issues were fixed in the Tegra 3, to my dismay after buying a Tegra 2 tablet.
