Just last year, ATI snatched title of world’s fastest graphics card from NVIDIA with their dual-GPU Radeon HD 4870 X2 from NVIDIA’s single-chip GeForce GTX 280. This prompted a fierce response from the green camp, and it came in the form of the dual-GPU GeForce GTX 295. The GeForce GTX 295 was fantastic card in many aspects, because not only was it blazingly fast, it was also launched at a lower price than the competition. Lately, the tables have been turned. ATI has launched their new Radeon HD 5000 series to great success, and NVIDIA is still sitting on the sidelines with nothing really noteworthy to show yet (besides the still shrouded Fermi).

Sony Ericsson Aino is a multimedia smartphone which features to be able to access and control media content from the Sony PS3. At just 104 x 50 x 15.5 mm, the 3-inch slider phone slipped easily into our shirt pocket and felt sturdy and solid in our hands. Slide out the phone and an alphanumeric keyboard will reveal itself akin to the Samsung UltraTouch S8300. What is peculiar is that the phone’s dedicated Call and End buttons were crammed between the keypad, which made it somewhat inconvenient when you want to make a call at a snap. The volume control, microUSB and audio jack is located at the sides of the phone. What’s sad is that the camera doesn’t have a lens cover. This means scratching the camera lens is a high possibility but then again, if it were to have a lens cover, the phone would have had to sacrifice its slim build.

The Tegra processor, a computer-on-a-chip the size of a thumbnail, has eight individual processors designed to deliver astounding HD performance to mobile computing devices. This includes an HD video processor, an audio processor, a graphics processor, and two ARM cores, which work together or separately to minimise power consumption.

The Samsung M1 uses the following NVIDIA Tegra technology to deliver rich multimedia features:

• An HD video processor for smooth, vivid 720p HD video and movie playback
• A graphics processor for an intuitive, responsive user interface and excellent 2D/3D graphics for wireless mobile games, applications and photos
• An audio processor for advanced audio playback and recording

Based on NVIDIA’s decade and a half of graphics leadership, the Tegra processor has been engineered over the past five years to bring high performance and low-power capabilities to the next generation of mobile computing devices, such as portable media players, smartphones, smartbooks and tablets.

Tegra processor-based consumer devices are delivering the rich visual experiences that today’s consumers crave, with HD video, intuitive 3D user interfaces and great games. There are 50 active Tegra processor-based design projects in the works today.
