On CES2013, NVIDIA announced a new generation of SoC - Tegra 4, which has extremely powerful performance as a mobile processor of the next era. After half a year of waiting, we finally ushered in the launch of Tegra 4 equipment.

PS: "Old Huang" in the title refers to Huang Renxun, CEO of NVIDIA.

Let's review the specification of Tegra 4 first. Tegra 4 development code is "Wayne". Like the previous generation of Tegra 3, it also uses the architecture of "4+1" core (Coolpad can now claim to be "five cores"...). Of course, the four cores of Tegra 4 use Cortex-A15, which is much stronger than the Cortex-A9 of Tegra 3. In addition, Tegra 4 uses TSMC's 28nm HPL in its manufacturing process, which is much stronger than the previous generation's 40nm HPL. In addition to the strong CPU side, Tegra 4's GPU is also strong. NVIDIA has inserted 72 ALUs on Tegra 4 (Lao Huang's nuclear bomb making ability is too strong), 12 on Tegra 3, and the GPU's computing ability is now the strongest.

The first batch of Tegra 4 devices launched include Toshiba's Android tablet REGZA Tablet AT703 and NVIDIA's own Android game console Shield 。 Let's take a look at AT703 first. The AT703 is Toshiba's latest 10.1 inch Android tablet, which is very powerful in configuration. Of course, Tegra 4 is the SoC, with a frequency of 1.8GHz. The AT703 also has 2G RAM and 32G ROM (supporting tf card expansion). In addition to the strength of the processor, the screen resolution of the AT703 has also reached 2560 * 1600, and the PPI has reached 300. In the past, the Nexus 10 was the only tablet that reached this height. It is officially announced that the screen uses the TFT screen of "PixelPure LED" technology. The specific performance depends on the comparison of real machines. In addition, the screen of AT703 also uses the second generation of gorilla glass. The rear camera of the AT703 has reached 8 million pixels, which is also the highest pixel in the temporary tablet. The weight of AT703 is 671g, 1.2kg with Bluetooth keyboard.

In addition to the strong performance of the body, the AT703 also has a highlight that it has its own electromagnetic touch stylus and 1024 level pressure sense, which is convenient for drawing on a flat panel. The AT703 also comes with a Bluetooth keyboard for office use.

The AT703 stylus has a 1024 level pressure sense (the Galaxy Note 2 stylus also has a 1024 level root), giving users more creative space.

For the specific performance of AT703, please pay attention to our initial evaluation.

In addition to Toshiba's first Tegra 4 tablet, we can certainly not forget Old Huang's own Tegra 4 game console Shield, which is also equipped with Tegra 4 processor+2G Ram, with a relatively small ROM capacity of only 16G (supporting tf card expansion). The other specifications of Shield are not very bright. The screen is a 5-inch 1280 * 720 touch screen. In terms of control, in addition to its own touch screen, Shield can also be operated through two rocker bars, a D-Pad cross key, a gyroscope, gravity sensing and other means. Shield uses the native Android system. In addition to running Android games, it can also connect to PC and operate PC games (official requirements require that GTX650 and above graphics cards work properly).

For the specific performance and playability of Shield, please also pay attention to our hands-on evaluation.

The emergence of Tegra 4 undoubtedly makes the high-end market of mobile processors more competitive. Now the high-end market is still Exynos 5410 and Snapdragon 600. In the second half of the year, Galaxy Note 3 is likely to use the high-frequency Exynos 5410, and Snapdragon 800 will also be launched in the second half of the year. Can Tegra 4 stand out in the SoC war?
