Hardware, Embedded Systems Netbooks, netbooks, netbooks, netbooks, netbooks. That's basicaly Computex in a nutshell. If you've seen one Atom-based netbook, you've seen them all, but luckily for us, NVIDIA is about to shake the world of netbooks up with a new Tegra chipset, the Tegra 650. Full high definition playback, battery life from outer space, and a processor that is always-on. Well, that's what NVIDIA promises, anyway. Twelve Tegra 650 devices were announced, with the first devices shipping before the end of the year - at USD 199 or less.

"video games play at up to 46 frames per second"

It's Quake. Bit-Tech has a nice summary.

Didn't realize Tegra had 8 independent processors:

Arm 11, Arm 7, GPU, 2D, HD Decode, HD Encode, Audio, Imaging
