It's such a shame that they didn't use an ARM A8 or A9 Cortex processor instead of the long-in-the-tooth ARM11 CPU.

It's all well and good that it can do HD, but if it's an absolute dog for OpenOffice and internet browsing, then what's the point.]]>Jun 4th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Snapdragon has one advantage I know if - a release date.

At the moment all I know comes from press-conferences, not live tests.]]>Jun 4th 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/
While the GPU may be better than the custom one in Qualcomm's Snapdragon or the PowerVR SGX530 in T.I.'s OMAP3, the CPU in the Tegra is crap. The Tegra uses a dual-core ARM11 running between 600-750 Mhz. the high-end Snapdragon and OMAP 3 use a ~1000Mhz CPU based on the ARM Cortex-A8*. Despite only being single-core, a Cortex-A8 has about double the performance as the ARM11 clock-for-clock. So the 1000mhz Cortex A8 should be far faster than a dual-core 650Mhz ARM11 .


*(Snapdragon actually uses a custom implementation of ARMv7 which is similar to an Cortex-A8, but a bit faster).]]>Jun 4th 2009 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/
(for non MLB.com subscribers, they stream the games live from their site using FLASH, there is a slide bar for quality, but the only one i enjoy watching is the top level quality)

if it does work fine, then are there any plans for a motherboard or desktop unit being produced using tegra.

thanks.]]>Jun 4th 2009 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/I really hope not.

Also don't know about the site you listed, but things like Hulu should run a lot smoother is the general idea.]]>Jun 4th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/I was all ready to buy an atom board to create a low powered option for streaming TV, but then I found out that the atom was never going to be adequate to do that when FLASH was involved.
so I really do hope that they make a mini-itx board with this chipset on it, if it can be used as the base of a media pc.]]>Jun 4th 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/
Now they're in Taiwan, and most of those sites probably aren't going to work, but it seems like he *could* have picked a Flash VIDEO site to demo, and he chose not to, and the interviewer didn't notice the difference, and didn't call him on it (kind of a fanboy approach he's taking there if you ask me, but maybe that's what it takes to get this sort of interview).

So for the moment I'm going to assume the Tegra CANNOT play HD flash full screen any better than Atom.]]>Jun 4th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/Jun 4th 2009 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-nvidia-tegras-gpu-gets-busy-with-hd-video-and-full-scree/

the new intel 945GSE chipset should solve some of the problems:
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D945GSEJT/sb/CS-030300.htm

however, intel are way behind in GPUs so the arm variants (buzzwords: snapdragon, tegra, cortex a8, omap 34xx) should for specific accelerated applications be able to leave atom in the dust.
