I'm a fan of Nvidia and their products but this claim is fairly meaningless.
Nvidia is often "ahead" of the competition when they announce something and then right about in line with the rest of the industry once they get all of their delays out of the way and finally release something.
See: Fermi, Tegra 2, et al.
- roc 16y agoJust to pile on: mobile processing generations are gated more by power limitations and process technology. Unless nVidia chips are going to be exclusively printed on a 'generation-ahead' process, have access to a 'generation-ahead' battery, and/or be paired with a 'generation-ahead' display, they can't be a 'generation-ahead' in general performance when they wind up in a device. Extra bells and whistles that provide theoretical performance, performance that the device ultimately can't leverage, are routinely excised from shipping designs. You don't have to look any further than the routine underclocking to see that mobile chip roadmaps are simply not as relevant as desktop or even laptop chip roadmaps.
