That's correct. PowerVR are just graphics well a little more than that. hrrm you got me thinking now. Are the Mhz speeds posted for Tegra 2 the whole chip speed or the GPU part speeds?
Anyone know if the GPU part is running at the same speed at the rest of the chip? It's too late to research now I have to look into it tomorrow.
Well its looking even worse for Nvidia who just announced the Tegra roadmap and it looks like they have nothing to compete against PowerVR.
The intention is to out execute its competitors frequently enough that they are either forced out of the market or into making a mistake trying to keep up. It's the same strategy that NVIDIA used to compete with 3dfx almost fifteen years ago
sarge78 said “Why? They can push new silicon to partners faster than anyone else, look what happened to kyro 2, 3DFX etc.”
I don’t understand your question. How can they push silicon any faster? How does a Tegra SoC get out faster then a SoC with a PowerVR chip? Both seem to take the same amount of time to me. What has the Kyro 2 got to do with anything?
The Tegra roadmap looks bad as they don’t have anything to compete against PowerVR series 5 refresh for 2 years and worse nothing to compete against series 6 until 2014.
Thanks for the Tegra info so it’s an 8 core GPU that’s running at 300Mhz. Before I thought it was a 1ghz single core.

Whats illogical about all this?
I already explained why it will most likely not make it into desktops. It has made it into cars and TV's. My reasons for the technology not making it into desktops, is perfectly logical and makes sense so there is very much an argument against.
Ok then just who would bring the technology to the desktop? I don't see AMD or Nvidia doing it as it would be too embarrassing to have someone else make a GPU for them.
The few others I can think off like ST Micro wouldn't as they dont care about such a small market. Who does that leave? Who would bring the technology to the desktop?
What?This is business, not a high school playground
