Nvidia Tegra 4 to Feature 4 Cortex A15 Cores, 72 Graphics Cores

According to Nvidia Tegra roadmap, the first Tegra 4 (T40) is due in Q1 2013, before T43 & AP40 come out in Q3 2013. Information is still sparse, but somebody posted a leaked slide on Chip Hell which gives a few more details about the upcoming Tegra 4 processors. So this is what we currently know about the Tegra T40 processor: CPU – 4x Cortex A15 (Eagle) cores @ 1.8 GHz + a battery saving core (aka companion core). GPU – Geforce GPU with 72 cores providing 20x Tegra 2 performance and 6x Tegra 3’s. Memory – Support for DDR3L, LPDDR2 and LPDDR3 Video – 1440p video encoding and decoding with VP8 and H.264 High Profile hardware acceleration Display –  2560×1600 24-bit, 1080p @ 120Hz, 4K displays via DSI and HDMI interfaces. Power – Lower power than previous generations thanks to 28nm HPL process (low power with high-k metal gates). Tegra 4 will also feature a 5th core and PRISM (Pixel …

Nvidia Tegra 4 Details and Roadmap Leaked

Last year, Nvidia announced the Tegra family roadmap until 2014 with Kal-El (NVidia Tegra 3),  Wayne (NVidia Tegra 4),  Logan (Nvidia Tegra 5) and Stark (Nvidia Tegra 6). The first half of 2012 should be the time where the Tegra 4 (codenamed Wayne) should be announced. In the meantime, VRZone shared a slide showing the different versions of Tegra 4 and the detailed roadmap. NVidia Tegra 4 processor will used the same 4-PLUS-1 configuration (4 main cores + 1 low power companion core) as Nvidia Tegra 3, except the Cortex A9 cores will be replaced by Cortex A15 and the chipset will run at frequencies ranging from 1.2GHz to 2.0GHz. There will be 4 flavors of Tegra 4: T40 – Quad Core Cortex A15 @ 1.8 GHz aimed at 10″ high-end tablets. T43 – Quad Core Cortex A15 @ 2.0 GHz aimed at 10″ high-end tablets. AP40 – Quad Core Cortex A15 @ 1.2 to 1.8 GHz aimed at 10″ …
