Within the same leaked slide, NVIDIA showcased the Tegra 3, which according to the slide is the world’s first quad-core processor. While the Tegra 2 3D bumps the speeds of the ARM processor to 1.2GHz and adds 3D support, the Tegra 3 is a whole new ball game. With a projected launch date of Fall 2011, the Tegra 3 ‘T30’ processor will have four Cortex-A9 processors which run at 1.5Ghz each and will have three times the GPU power. To give you an idea of the amount of power we are talking about, the Tegra 3 chip, which will be made for tablets, will allow devices to support Blu-ray video and displays which go upto 1920x1200.

The Slide also shows that the Tegra 3 will feature a ‘ULP CPU mode’, which is NVIDIA’s version of a ultra low power mode.
