Darn, we've barely started getting acquainted with Tegra 2, yet NVIDIA
seems to already be preparing the stage for a sort of Tegra 2.5 -- a
1.2GHz dual-core chip that'll be marketed as a 3D-capable mobile
processor. This T25 silicon is apparently set for mass production in
the first quarter of this year, with availability coming up in the
spring. Given the noises we keep hearing about 3D going mobile, this
is one rumor that makes a lot of sense -- and even if you're a staunch
supporter of the 2D creed, you can't deny that a sped-up Tegra 2 CPU
sounds pretty delicious. We've managed to also track down some
technical chatter about adding support to Chromium OS for a 1.2GHz T25
from NVIDIA, seemingly corroborating the leaked image above. Oh boy,
it's gonna be a hot summer for mobile computing this year!
