Nvidia’s 3rd generation Tegra platform code-named “Kal-El” isn’t even released yet and we’re already over it. While Kal-El’s quad-core architecture will certainly make 2012′s tables a sight to see, it is the 4th generation’s “Wayne” platform that is really exciting. How does quad and octo-core tablets and superphones sound? The unique aspect of the Wayne platform will be its dual chip approach. On the...
Tegra 2 is still barely crawling and already the tech world is beginning to move on to the next bigger and better item — “Tegra 2.5″. While not the official numbering scheme from Nvidia, the reason for the added “0.5″ is 3D support and a 200MHz higher clock speed for each core.

Those looking to pick up the hottest piece of gaming gear at the end of this year, namely an Nvidia Fermi GT300 series card, are going to have quite the bleak and unhappy Christmas. According to DigiTimes, Nvidia is waiting until fiscal year 2011 (read: late January) to release this new gaming beast of a chip.
