processors from nvidia picture

 

Journalists from The Inquirer, offended that they forgot to invite to the next event on the preparations for leaving processors NVIDIA, decided to forget about non-disclosure, and “merged” in the Internet portion solid details on these chips. In particular, they dispel confusion about the “class” processor Tegra APX 2500 and CSX 600/650 - these “system-on-chip” will not x86-compatible, and based on the base kernel ARM11. Some commonality with the family of x86 will be viewable only in that processors NVIDIA positioned for the same segment devices, and that Intel Atom.

Reported that the chip area APX 2500 (not the substrate, and finished chips) is 144 sq. km. mm, it will support video encoding and decoding standard 720p capacity 14 MB / sec. It is expected that the ability to work with graphics Tegra will coincide with a majority of representatives of the modern line GeForce, including support aniti aliasing, anisotropic filtering and OpenGL ES 2.0.

Based on the CPU kernel, they will work with some of the mobile versions of Windows (and also Linux), but not under XP, or Vista. L2 cache is 256 Kb, a chip in order to save space can be  installation. For these models are expected values of the working frequency of 700-800 MHz, with support for video standard 1080p, but only 24 frames per second. Referred to the possibility of working with hard disks and power at the level of no more than 3 W when playing videos. This compares with the characteristics of Intel Atom.
