How aggressive can NVIDIA get? That's the question puzzling our
brainboxes right now as we gaze upon the complete version of the slide
that let us know about a potential Tegra 2 3D chip over the weekend.
It's not every day you hear of a 1.5GHz quad-core mobile SOC, but our
discovery of corroborating evidence for the T25 module sitting
alongside it makes us more willing to credit the possibility of a Blu-
ray-crunching, 13,800 MIPS-capable, multicore Cortex-A9 Tegra 3.
Moreover, the roadmap of production samples in Q4 of 2010 fits
perfectly with NVIDIA's claim that Tegra 3 was "almost done" in
September of that year. The ULP designation on this listing stands for
Ultra Low Power in NVIDIA parlance, which would indicate an
aggressively tuned power management system -- the only way we can
envision a quad-core anything operating within a tablet. Fall 2011 is
when we should know for sure.
