nVidia has recently announced its one-chip solution which has an ARM11-based CPU, a 2D/3D accelerator, camera controller and a multimedia accelerator that supports HD content. According to the manufacturer this chip needs very few energy, so it can be an ideal foundation of ultraportable multimedia devices. nVidia didn't reveal any prices yet, but they have told that the tiny chip will be cheaper than Intel's Atom CPU, that is to be used in small and cheap laptops, that can be considered the hit of the year. This kind of comparison of the prices is not accidental. Although nVidia's Tegra CPU cannot be the base of an ultramobile laptop, but it can be used to create such smartphones, media players and Internet tablets that are faster than cheap laptops, have more features and can even be cheaper.
