NVIDIA Tegra 2 Chip Poised to Power Many Tablets

NVIDIA's Tegra 2 SoC featuring dual core Cortex A9-CPU at 1MHz is expected to become a hot favorite amongst tablet manufacturers in 2011.

The chip can power smartphones as well as tablets. LG Electronics on December 15 unveiled the Tegra 2 powered LG Optimus 2X, the world's first smartphone with a dual-core processor.

Based on its research, Citigroup recently reported that Samsung has placed a sizeable order with NVIDIA for Tegra 2 chips in the first half of 2011.

Samsung earlier relied on its own Hummingbird SoC to power its Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets.

Citigroup's Glen Yeung points out that Tegra 2 is the "reference design" for Google's upcoming Android "Honeycomb" that the company says will feature full support for tablets.

Samsung's decision could well have been influenced by Google's support for Tegra 2.

Ambrish Srivastava, a semiconductors analyst with BMO Capital Markets, expects NVIDIA chips to power a number of tablets next year.

Srivastava was from a group of analysts who spent a week visiting more than 30 tech companies in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong.
