Rumor: NVIDIA to Announce Tegra 3 Soon, Possibly at MWC 2011
And the rumor mill keeps on spinning. This time, a report from Hexus suggests NVIDIA will soon be announcing Tegra 2 – the company’s Michael Rayfield predicts they’ll have Tegra 3 ready for OEMs at the same time their competitors catch up to Tegra 2. Based on what we expect Samsung and Qualcomm to announce within the next couple of months, there’s reason to believe they’ll be making a big splash at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
There’s little to support the rumor, but it wouldn’t be hard to believe considering NVIDIA’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang talked a lot of innovation and speedy iteration at their CES 2011 press conference. And it’s not like the announcement of Tegra 3 would spell doom for Tegra 2 devices – those likely won’t be overshadowed until sometime in 2012, if at all. We’ll see if NVIDIA’s putting the pedal against the metal come February 14th. [via A&M]
