ARM processors and Tegra....strategy news....and tablets....with Android.

I have a Dell 1710XPS notebook that's about four years old that's designed for high performance gaming and it uses one of Nvidia’s graphics chips.

That notebook has had to be repaired twice because the graphics processor overheats.To this day it still does.

I was always a nVidia geek but turned to ATI when I bought one of their 5770 graphics boards that does a great job with very low heat at a good price.

Getting deep into the ARM world now is a fit of insanity and Tegra doesn’t exactly have an abundance of high-volume design wins.

The problem with the ARM world is the only chips that are particularly profitable is cellular and Qualcomm, Infineon and Texas Instruments have that market sewn up.

Outside of mobile chipsets ARM has licensed their cores to everybody under the sun, including a large number of Chinese chipmakers who are pumping out chips suitable for 99% of embedded applications at virtually no cost while companies like Apple are perusing a custom silicon strategy for their ARM devices.

Even when it comes to graphics, PowerVR has become the defacto standard for graphics married to ARM devices, which like ARM itself available to any chipmaker and at very low cost. PowerVR is no slouch - look at the gaming experience on the iPhone and iPad. There really isn’t a place for nvidia here.
