back to article Nvidia targets Intel Atom with ARM-based system-on-a-chip

Nvidia has announced its attempt to split Intel's Atom: Tegra, an ARM-based system-on-a-chip product for handheld internet access gadgets that's capable of crunching 1080p H.264 HD video. Well, that's the Tegra 650 - a lesser model, the 600, only runs to 720p. Both chips will output at those resolutions - respectively, 1920 x …

    But are we going to see devices like the EEE pc and the Jisus based on this technology? The story on the BBC website seems to imply this.
