Nvidia has just launched their GTX 560 Ti, but they’re also busy prepping the ARM division of the company too. Dual core Tegra 2 chips are out in the market, but Nvidia is already looking into a new Tegra 3 chip. The slide above says that a possible 1.5GHz quad-core mobile SOC with ability to crunch out Blu-ray contents and 13,800 MIPS-capable based on the multicore Cortex-A9 chip.

Last time Nvidia claimed that Tegra 3 is ‘almost done’ even before Tegra 2 hit the market, but now that the slide suggested that Tegra 3 had already entered production samples in Q4 of 2010 fits nicely with Nvidia’s claim. The ULP designation on this listing stands for Ultra Low Power in NVIDIA parlance, which would indicate an aggressively tuned power management system, would be a good thing to have since a quad-core chip in a tablet would mean critical danger to a tablet’s juice pool. Also, if you notice the 1920 x 1200 display, that should be something very delicious to tablets.
