Tegra - 8 Independent Processors

[o0AndromedaB0o]

tegra or tegra 2?

[marinojoe]

Although these are great ideas or philosophy as he calls it, will the fact that these processor have to be turned on every time its needed delay the immediate launch of the program? Because if they are all on, yes it consumes energy, but when u launch the program it automatically opens. the processor doesnt have to be turned on, it already is on....

@marinojoe It takes time to start your car.. do you run that 24 hours a day to save time?

Time lost is very minimal and reduced by capacitors.. power savings are big.

Near zero power standby will come in time.. no delay

transistors switched by electric field

The two philosophies sound the same to me.

1) To use power you have to justify it.

2) When you use power, why do you use it?

[laysstandard]

2) when you use power, why do you use it? and then make a part specificly for that

[marinojoe]

there not, allow me too explain. the first one is;

If u are not in need of other processors they will not be on consuming power, the second is, if u do need another processor there has to be a reason and that reason will be which processor will be activated. not all 8 processors are the same. Some are for video others for online data etc. so instead of u using a video processor that consumes a lot of energy to read text, a lower consumption processor will be activated so that u can access data

NVIDIA IS THAT BEST!!

[pogodrummer]

what about sli-ing all the 8 processors and have the computational power to play gta iv?

[whiteguysamurai]

I think this would make a great portable cpu for microsoft to make a portable game system.

Zune HD's going to be the best portable device to exist so far. It'll blow iPod away.
