Nvidia Readies Major Product Launch: Tegra
Nvidia Readies Major Product Launch of Tegra. Nvidia Preps Tegra Product Category: Other by Anton Shilov [ 04/14/2008 | 02:44 PM ] Nvidia Corp., the main supplier of discrete graphics adapter as well as variety of multimedia chips, prepares to release a product called "Tegra". Few details are known, but this is very likely to be a major product launch. Nvidia recently applied for "Tegra" trademark with the U.S. patent and trademark office, but did not disclose any details about the product. However, there are various signs which indicate that Tegra will be a major product for Nvidia, the company which is not known for registering multitude of trademarks that are not eventually used. The description of Nvidia Tegra at the U.S. patent and trademark office is short "G & S: Integrated circuits" and does not provide any details about the forthcoming product. It is not clear whether Tegra is Nvidia's and Via Technologies' mobile computing platform, a new specialized platform like Tesla, a new name on the market of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) or a completely new multimedia chip from the graphics giant. Nvidia is currently working hard to enter new markets as its chipsets are becoming less popular now that Advanced Micro Devices is developing its own core-logic sets thanks to ATI Technologies acquisition 1.5 years ago, whereas the market of discrete graphics processors is somewhat limited. Moreover, when Intel introduces its discrete graphics processor in several quarters the market of standalone graphics cards will change dramatically. Nvidia did not comment on the news-story. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/d..._of_Tegra.html http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/36943/118/ Tegra brand starts speculations about new Nvidia products Business and Law By Theo Valich Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:20 Mountain House (CA) - Our colleagues over at X-bit Labs discovered a new brand recently registered by Nvidia: Tegra. Could there be a fourth product family in the works? The brand was caught very early in the and there is very little information available about it so far - in fact, what we know for sure is that this new brand will describe "Integrated Circuits" in the Goods & Services (G & S) category. Integrated Circuits can really mean a lot of things; however, until Nvidia's lawyer team does not provide information about the brand's expanded use, we won't know for sure what Tegra is. Tegra looks like it will be the third brand in Nvidia's product portfolio, following GeForce (including nForce), Quadro and Tesla. Tesla is the newest brand in the company's lineup and was introduced as a name for the firm's supercomputing products. Tesla, of course, goes back to Nicola Tesla, a Serbian physicist and electrical engineer, but we don't have such clear hints with Tegra. Tegra is a widely used company name in design, healthcare, financial, analysis and consulting industries. You can even buy Tegra toner cartridges, or 1940's comics with Tegra, the Jungle Empress. Owners of the Acura Integra also like to call their car the "Tegra". So, your guess is as good as ours what it actually will be. In this author's personal opinion, Tegra could be expansion or successor of nForce brand. Why? Well, wee have noticed that some chipsets are getting a GeForce tag instead of nForce (GeForce 8200 for AMD, CN+GeForce platform for VIA). Another idea could be that Tegra will be Nvidia's application processor business - APX2500 is not exactly a good name for an otherwise brilliant System-on-Chip. One of our readers suggested that Tegra could hint towards the integration of audio in upcoming platforms or a product coming out of a possible merger with Creative Labs. Let the speculation begin. discussions: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=47669 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=111724 |
