NVIDIA Rebrands The Tegra 3′s Architecture, Wants Everyone To Now Call It A 4-Plus-1 SoC
Tegra3_Chip-250x179
Nvidia unveiled the Tegra 3 platform last year at Mobile World Congress. Since then the chip has lived its short life mostly misunderstood. You see, it's a quad-core chip with another 500MHz companion core that handles low-power background tasks -- an architecture Nvidia previously called variable symmetric multiprocessing. But that's a mouthful and likely a bit hard to properly market to consumers. From here on out Nvidia wants the Tegra 3 to be called a 4-Plus-1 chip, m'kay? Nvidia even went as far as trademarking the new name.

Why Quad-Core?
quadcore
We are entering into a new era, ladies and gentlemen. Well, "era" may not be the right word considering how quickly things change in these here mobile parts, but the fact remains the same: Quad-core mobile processors are here. And the ones that aren't quite here yet are coming. While many of our brilliantly geeky readers need no tutorial on the advantages of four processing cores, some of you may be thinking "Uh... OK, why do I care?" So I took it upon myself to place a few calls and get some of the big guns — Qualcomm, Nvidia, and TI — to explain why exactly you should care (or shouldn't), and what kind of differences technology like this can make in the average user's daily phone usage.
