According to a recently leaked NVIDIA roadmap, which first appeared over at Bright Side of News (BSN), the graphics chipmaker's Tegra line of ARM-based chips will boast two new additions this year - the Tegra 2 3D, and the Tegra 3.

According to Softpedia, Nvidia will likely planning a next-month roll out of its next-generation Tegra 3 chip that is essentially aimed at smartphones and tablets. The chip, which is yet to be officially announced by Nvidia, will reportedly be notably faster than the company's present processor - the dual-core Tegra 2.

In a this-week-published about mobile multi-core processors, NVIDIA confirmed its efforts to pack more CPU cores into mobile devices - such as smartphones and tablets - for faster task execution; thereby enhancing their performance, as well as saving battery life.

Ranging £100 higher the Nvidia GTX580 is merely 10 per cent faster in terms of clock speed and memory performance when compared to the GTX480.

To acknowledge some home-grown supercomputer hardware, the GPU monolith NVIDIA gave kudos to CSIRO. But it’s a disappointment in the science organization on the fact that despite the hardware is booming, yet, the people power isn’t.

Today, NVIDIA, one of the globe's major developers of graphics processing units (GPUs) declared that CSIRO has been chosen as a member of its worldwide network of high performance computing research centers.

GPUs are the computer hardware that rests at the center of game consoles and, growingly, supercomputers.

Nvidia's CEO has said that hardware manufacturers will amalgamate behind Google's Android as the chief operating system for tablet computers.

It is said that tablets are developing to be one of the attractions of the yearly Computex show in Taipei, where hardware manufacturers are displaying their most recent products and prototypes.

There is some good news for gamers and people who use their computers mainly for graphics and graphical applications. Nvidia has launched GTX 480M Graphics processors for laptops. In the coming days, laptops with Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M chip will support DirectX 11 level graphics. It is more powerful and aims to deliver better performance than the earlier processors.

The Zotac GeForce GTX 480, which is based on the GTX 480, makes use of Nvidia GF100 chip, which is the fastest graphics chip on the earth and has all the latest features. It gives support to DirectX 11 gaming, which means that latest and greatest games will be made available. Its features include tessellation, DirectCompute, and Multi-threaded rendering.
