Sylvie Barak over at Tech Eye
claims NVIDIA's Tegra 2 SoC received lots of design wins, she heard from an anonymous source that every major PC maker will be including Tegra in its tablet line-up this year (and that includes Dell).
With four times the performance of its older brother, Tech Eye was told by a source close to Nvidia that the chip was “f***ing hard to make,” and didn’t come cheap either, with around $600 million having been plowed into its development and 500 N-gineers slaving away in the green queen’s dungeon.
But with the likes of MSI coming out with an Nvidia Tegra-based tablet in Q2, and our source telling us that “every major PC maker will be including Tegra in its tablet line-up this year,” (and that includes Dell) it seems Jensen’s gamble has paid off. In dividends.
