Yeh! NVIDIA is ready to make a BIG BANG in processor market with its new processor. And it seems that Intel will have a mighty rival in upcoming days.
This is unofficial news from NVIDIA. The company vice-president 'Michel Hara' reported that NVIDIA is about to create an x86 based processor. The processor will be available within 2-3 years. Recently NVIDIA has brought its TEGRA-650 series processors for Mobile-Internet Devices (MID). Now the question arises is that why these NVIDIAns are so interested in CPU development?
My friends, this everything is because of Intel itself. (Surprised?) Actually Intel people are talking in a language to vanish the existence of GPUs. Intel and AMD are trying to integrate the CPU and GPU and thus to remove the concept of discrete GPUs. The 'Larrabee Micro-architecture' (one of the hot topic in seminars) is the product of the same mission. Larrabee will be highly scalable and flexible to fight with NVIDIAs CUDA and TESLA technologies. Thus if NVIDIA want to keep its place safe in the market, it must move to CPU development.
As I mentioned earlier about the MIDs or Mobile-Internet-Devices, MID's are powerful, flexible and high-end portable devices. They are one step ahead of our traditional PDA-phones. If we think about tomorrow’s computer, there is no doubt that it will reside in our palms. NVIDIA has held the same thread and it has jumped into the processor development for MIDs. NVIDIAs TEGRA 650 is the core of MID. NVIDIA and Microsoft did work together for this. Now latest Windows Mobiles are featured with NVIDIA's technology.
Apart from this, it is not clear about NVIDIAs plans for current desktop and laptops. What’s next? Just wait and see what happens now...
