Need to Know – Nvidia Tegra 3

Nvidia Tegra 3 – kills the Blu-ray player

The biggest power-saving operation on the Tegra 3 is video playback, which is 61% more power efficient than the Tegra 2's dual-core. The Tegra 3 is also able to churn out video to two screens with resolutions of up to 2048x1536 – which is more than most TVs can display. So now you can store all your films, TV shows and guilty-pleasure anime in HD quality on your phone (HTC Edge) or tablet (Asus Transformer Prime) and output to your LCD – all without having to plug in for power. Goodbye solid-state media.
