    It's official. The NVIDIA Tegra isn't just a figment of Intel's worst nightmare. It is now reality. Just a few hours ago, NVIDIA launched the Tegra at the trendy Bando 8 restaurant in the fantastically-corpulent Hsin Kong Mitsukoshi shopping mall.

    The Tegra is an entirely new product for NVIDIA, a complete system-on-a-chip (SoC) for miniaturized computers called Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). This sets the stage for a direct showdown between Intel, the CPU giant, and NVIDIA, the GPU giant; as Intel is going to reveal a similar product called the Intel Atom. Read on and find out.

    Heehee... they SHOULD put this thing in the EEEPc... or any small UMPC. That could be another fantastic killer coat-pocket PC! :mrgreen:

    nope atom platform still has the x86 software ecosystem to back it up, which is a huge advantage.

    Yeah, plus Atom is out here right now, while the Tegra is still a long way from reaching our hands.

    NVIDIA can only say that a Tegra-based smartphone will be out by the end of the year. That's about half a year away for the Atom to totally dominate the market.
