Kal-El is the code name given by Nvidia to the new quad-core platform that will be available in tablets starting in August of this year. The name is "borrowed" from the Superman movies and if you look at the video clips in this article, you will notice that Nvidia has something to brag about. In general, the new platform brings a processing power approximately 2 times higher than Nvidia Tegra 2 which has built-in dual-core processors/graphics chips. Nvidia plans to start the production of this new chip in the coming months and in the summer to have it implemented in tablets. In the clips below we have: a demonstration of how the tablet plays a video clip on its native resolution of 1366 x 768 and on a 30-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600; in the second clip we have a demonstration of the Great Battles Medieval game with 650 units on the map and you can see that Kal-El does much better than Tegra 2.
Nvidia Tegra 2 is already found in many Android smartphones and tablets, while Apple iDevices have remained with the old single-core processors with a maximum frequency of 1 Ghz. We will witness in the coming months an onslaught of Android devices with extremely powerful processors that will surpass iDevices in all synthetic tests, but it remains to be seen how many applications compatible with dual-core processors will be available in the near future.

SUper procesor! Ma uitam la testele pe care le-a facut si e mai puternic decat un Core2Duo si consumul este mult mai mic.. Mi-ar placea sa vad in i5 asa ceva…
NVIDIA spulbera orice in materie de grafica.Chiar daca AMD fac si ei placi bune, NVIDIA ofera mai multe CUDA, Physx, 3d vision. Sper sa vad tehnologia in iPad.
[…] Kal-El este probabil primul chip quad-core care va fi implementat in vreo tableta si daca va amintiti am vorbit prima oara despre el in ca din luna februarie. Cei de la Nvidia ii pregatesc lansarea pe piata de ceva timp si tabletele cu Android vor fi primele care vor beneficia de aceasta tehnologie cu adevarat remarcabila. Clipul video de mai sus reprezinta un demo al modului in care ruleaza acest nou chip grafic insa intr-adevar impresionant este faptul ca procesorul este capabil sa redea fara probleme dynamic lighting-ul din demo, adica efecte de lumina dinamice care sunt proiectate pe obiecte si fluctueaza in mediul inconjurator.
