Forums - Gaming Discussion - Nvidia Kal-EL 12 core gpu for tablets in 2011

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4181/nvidias-project-kalel-quadcore-a9s-coming-to-smartphonestablets-this-year

This thing could outperform NGP even before it is released.

And looking at Nvidia roadmap soon stationary consoles might be replaced with portable that you connect to your TV at home to continue game you started in train ;)

This just in...Nvidia working with Stark industries to make Ironman suit.





It's a vanilla quad-core A9. I'm not impressed. The interesting part is the GPU but if Tegra/Tegra 2 is any guide it won't be much faster than what SGX or ARM or Qualcomm can give you. Interestingly Qualcomm's Adreno is actually AMD Radeon tech they sold off (probably unwisely)

The interesting one, Denver, is at least 3 years away.

I'm not liking this trend of saying GPUs have cores. They have pipelines, not even unified shaders. It might be as fast as the PS3's GPU if they're lucky, but so will the competition.

In the cool codenames deparment they get 10/10 however.

You think Wayne and Stark are cool names? I don't. Logan is ok, though.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

You know what they're named after, I assume?

Nope, but I think you will explain it to me now, right? Pu-lease?

Comic book heroes. Bruce Wayne is Batman, Tony Stark is Iron Man, Kal-El is Superman's name, Logan is Wolverine.

Well, that's cool I guess, but for somebody not knowing this or for somebody simply not interested in comics it's still uncool. :p
