Tegra3 has been a huge failure, and ended up with very few design wins. Imagine that surface got a good deal.

- zanny 14y agoIt got Nvidia in the best selling tablet of the year, the Nexus 7. Technical merits aside, it was a win for Nvidia's bottom line. I still don't get how embedded chipset manufacturers can keep competing with the largest graphics company in the world in the gpu space so easily though. Tegra 4 is supposed to be jumping from 12 up to 72 in the highest end model Kepler cores instead of old 8000 cores. If they manage to get some super efficient high performance graphics in mobile I could see a games revolution around it. Especially if they put that in the Nexus7#2 next year.
- Zenst 14y agoThe Tegra 3 cores are actualy older 7000 series (prior to the whole CUDA revolution) cores, much the same as you have in a playstation3. Yes the Tegra4 will make a huge jump to teh kepler cores, so will be hard to compare core counts. Certainly will afford a very powerful platform. Tegra3 is how old now and works realy well.

Just for some perspective: Samsung total revenue: $247 Billion Apple total revenue: $157 Billion Qualcomm total revenue: $19.1 Billion Texas Instruments total revenue: $13.7 Billion NVidia total revenue: $4.00 billion NVidia is the relatively small fish in the pond here, and if they have relatively more graphics experience the others have relatively more experience with everything else in this space.
