Proccessor Intensive Cheese
- Talking about the tech inside the new Zune HD with my friend Chris, Mainly the awesome Tegra chip. This is usually how our conversations end up...
- me: dude... 24 hours of music play on one charge!
- Chris: that's crazy! damn...
- me: it's the tegra chip man. that thing is low power, and yet can decode HD video
- Chris: who makes it?
- me: Nvidia. It's gonna start popping up in a lot more stuff. I can't wait for a phone to have that.
- Chris: when did they get into the processor market?
- me: well it's actually closer in design to a GPU... so in that sense they have always been making things like it. But this is their first outing into the mobile general purpose computing chips.
- me: They have their sights on Intel. should be an interesting battle.
- Chris: hmmm... seems like a pretty hard ship to sink, I'd say, or rather, a pretty hard "chip" to sink... OH! I'm here all week folks... hahaha
- me: HAHAHA... ba dum bum
- me: You could say they are hoping to clean their clock... cycles!
- Chris: OH! haha
- me: They're goin-tegra-te some cheese on Intel's chips...
- Chris: hahaha!
