This will be about the time Nvidia's Tegra division finally starts becoming profitable.

spigzone wrote:They will initially be targeting the high end Android gaming market where publishers can leverage HSA/hUMA/Mantle optimized Android ports to provide high end/hardcore gaming experiences on that platform. One might expect this to be accompanied by a release of joystick/trigger equipped phablets, tablets and purpose built handheld gaming machines. The specific market Nvidia is attempting to leverage to ARM SOC success.

I really like the idea of an AMD-powered smartphone, though.

It's not like there's anyone else here providing thought provoking input or arguments to respond to. ...

AMD was a pet on a leash meant to kep the anti-trust hounds off Intel's trail makes sense, I don't see how that applies to Nvidia.Nvidia has advantages in both engineering and fabrication
Tesla? Fermi? Both were very late into the market due to engineering/fabrication problems. AMD has consistently bettered Nvidia in engineering/fabrication for the last several years.Over the next 3 years, AMD will need to make a case for gamers to switch, and for the most part, the things that you have mentioned, "mantle," the "console advantage" and whatever other in-roads that they have made are all dependent on delivering a product that does well in benchmarks, and competes on price.
EA is so confident in Mantle and so enthusiastic about it they are fully committing to it. AMD has been collaborating with several other partners that will be implementing Mantle. The huge performance edge AMD will have over Nvidia is what will 'make a case for gamers to switch'.

Hedge your bets, and maybe, you might look credible. Admiration is the farthest thing from knowing something, it is the willful ignorance to pick what you like and discard the rest with mental gymnastic finesse.
