The Nvidia Tegra chipset is very powerful, however, mobile devices manufacturers didn’t adopt it. Why? Probably because the ARM architecture was easier to use. Anyway we are happy to announce that this trend will change as the second-gen Nvidia Tegra CPU will be adopted by multiple companies, including Samsung who will put it on the Galaxy Tab 2.
Nvidia’s Tegra 2 chipset has been confirmed to be present in the LG Star, LG Optimus 2X, and probably in the LG B Android smartphone. The latest rumor says that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 will be powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU which is kinda weird because an older rumor said that Samsung is developing a next-gen dual-core Hummingbird processor.

So what changed? Did Samsung decide that it can’t compete against Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor? The answer comes quickly from Google! It seems like Google is copying Microsoft with Windows Phone 7 and is looking to make the Tegra 2 architecture the reference hardware for Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
Nvidia might have hit the jackpot here, albeit we should wait for more information to come in before confirming this rumor so stay tuned!
P.S. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 release date is rumored to be 1H11.
