"Nvidia PR and IR shout design wins by the dozen, and uninformed press and analysts simply assume these will become products that carry Nvidia chips. Nothing could be further from the truth. When the silicon is delivered in typical Nvidia style - hot, late, slow, and buggy - it is shown the door. Again and again and again. Ask Samsung.
If you want to see the success of Tegra, the easiest way is to go back and look at Nvidia PR and IR's claims for design wins, and when those products will be out. Start in mid-2008. Of the dozens of phones and widgets due in Q4/2008, the total count of released devices is single digits. Of the 50+ design wins claimed last week, how many do you think are going to make it to market? Given Nvidia's guidance, it doesn't think there will be all that many, especially when SEC rules cover the release."
Great news for PowerVR, not so much for Nvidia who's mobile plans seems to be falling to bits.
