MiTAC Mio 8390 will have powerful graphics accelerator from Nvidia January 10, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. Nvidia said it has "many" customers for the GoForce 2150, though the company declined to say who is on the list besides Mitac, which is using the chip in its Mio 8390 phone. This is nice but we are not sure if or how developers of games could use this graphics power! MiTAC Mio 8380 for example had fast 200 MHz processor but was equally slow as smartphones powered by slower TI OMAP with 132 MHz. There are 2 possibilities: either MiTAC will provide special APIs for this new graphics chip or the additional graphics power will be utilized transparently - by all programs that use currently existing API. Either way: one is for sure - with MiTAC Mio 8390 (that was however delayed lately a bit, read our exclusive story about it here) - Microsoft smartphone platform gains devices more powerful than N-Gage. Nvidia unveiled the flagship product in the family, the GoForce 2150, geared to make cellphones and handheld computers better at taking digital pictures and playing games. The GoForce 2150 has very different requirements from desktop graphics systems. The processor handles pictures as large as 1.3 megapixels, outperforms the Nintendo Game Boy Advance graphics by a factor of 25, consumes little battery power and supports 70 different display interfaces to ensure it can be used in a wide variety of devices, said Phil Carmack, vice president of handheld products at Nvidia. It can process eleven 1.3-megapixel photos per second, he said. To read more about NVidia click here.
