The capability to handle MPEG4 video, compressed and decompressed with H.264 codec, HD video at 1080p resolution are increasingly becoming important for personal computing platforms. The tablet format is viewed as one of the important platforms for consumption of the high definition video, be it from Blu-ray DVDs or through streaming video from the Internet. One of the interesting approaches is to use a high performance graphics processor configuration with general purpose processors. NVIDIA's Tegra processor is one such example.
While the original Tegra appeared last year, this Jan saw the release of the next generation of Tegra processor and they are appearing in some tablet models. Besides being low power processor configuration, it contains two ARM cores and graphics processors to make 1080p video processing a comfortable task for the processor Tegra 250. Tegra family already includes TPX 2500, TPX 2600, TEgra 600 and the latest 650 that was announced in Jan.
