It seems like 2011 will be the year of the dual core smartphone. We have been informed that Nvidia, Qualcomm and Broadcomm among others have already released multi-core platforms with others on the way.
While LG Electronics (LGE) and Motorola already unveiled their dual-core smartphones at CES, HTC, Samsung Electronics and Nokia are expected to showcase similar models at the upcoming Mobile World Conference (MWC), indicated the sources.
It is now expected that the upcoming iPhone 5 will have a dual core processor. RIM already has a dual-core CPU in its upcoming PlayBook tablet and Apple is believed to be looking at a similar chip for its 2nd generation iPad.

NVIDIA, one of the largest video cards companies around the globe, is taking a huge step for standardization: Introducing NVIDIA Verde Drivers which unifies all of the drivers available for laptops and desktops.
If the standardization of all of the drivers does not sound like a big deal to you, there’s more: NVIDIA is also saying that this driver package offers a 30% performance increase in the video processing.
Here’s a summary about the key points in the NVIDIA Verde (“green” for Spanish) drivers:
The Verde suite will represent the drivers for desktops, mainstream notebooks, gaming notebooks, 3D notebooks, thin and light notebooks and netbooks.
Verde will represent the 256 series drivers (Rel256).
Drivers are CUDA enabled (GPU-accelerated applications).
Drivers are 3D TV Play enabled (for using on 3D TVs).
Notebooks with multi-vendor hybrid solutions, i.e. those with integrated Intel graphics and discrete NVIDIA graphics, will not be supported.
I don’t know about you, but I really love when companies start talking about standardization in their products.
As we’ve announced a while ago, Microsoft and Zune are getting ready to take an important step: the release of Zune HD. Now, there are some more news about it, this Zune HD will include Nvidia Integra system-on-chip.
