Nvidia recently unveiled their new SOC Tegra 4.
Though it may not look as powerful as the Qualcomm's counterpart the Snapdragon 800,this chip is aiming at the android gaming market niche that Nvidia wants to penetrate.The announcement of project shield and other handheld consoles running android shows how big gaming on android platform will going to be.
.................Now a long story short...............
This will be a tough time for Sony's PS vita whose sales still not gained momentum neither it caught developer's interest.But Nintendo is in a safer position by differentiating themselves from android handhelds by adding 3d tricks to games.Also more developers are interested in developing for 3ds rather than PS vita and 3ds already have sufficient titles to impress beginners and veterans.
all that beautiful hardware put to waste will be a nightmare for any gaming lover
So what is the lesson learnt.............!
It's not about how powerful the hardware platform is but it is about how good you put it into use(and it's good time to mention how iPhone is different from android phones Apple is always good at marrying great hardware with insanely great software).
Nvidia is so good in this respect they gathered some good developers and make them develope games with additional effects that make use of tegra's GPU right from the beginning when it launched tegra2 now it got some respectable titles to differentiate itself from other ARM SOC makers.(also this is both good and bad good for gamers bad for android(cause fragmentation)
Now it's tegra4's turn to push it much further.Also do not forget that all tegra2 and tegra3 games are backward compatible with tegra4 SOC.Benchmarks may show that Tegra4 is less powerful than it's counterparts but it's relative value is much more which will be the ultimate factor.
Let us wait time will decide who will rule the billion dollar gaming market.
