NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang
expects Tegra will start taking off in the coming quarters. The product category brought in $51.9 million of revenue for NVIDIA in the company's fiscal Q3 2011, a slurry of Tegra-based devices should hit the market soon and the company is currently working hard on Tegra 3.
"The Tegra business has a much longer design win cycle and the amount of contribution of software to the Tegra business is just incredible. You are building an entire computer on a chip, and if the computers are as sophisticated as what it is going to take to compete against an iPad or an iPhone, the amount of software that you put into your product lines is going to have to increase dramatically," said Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia, during the most recent conference call with financial analysts.
