Nvidia's mobile future might have been leaked yesterday on a Chinese forum site.
A user going by the name "Xenomorph" yesterday republished an image shared on China's Twitter equivalent Weibo, detailing what could be the mobile processor that Nvidia launches to replace the Tegra 3. And for now, it's being called "Wayne."
According to the image, Wayne, which might eventually be renamed Tegra 4, comes with Nvidia's 4-Plus-1 technology, meaning the chipset will have four regular cores and another low-power core designed to save battery life. That CPU is described as a "Quad Core Eagle," indicating that it's based on ARM's Cortex-A15 architecture, which was given the "Eagle" branding.
The big surprise could be a significant boost Nvidia is delivering to the chip's graphics performance. The slide indicates that Wayne would come with 72 graphics cores, six times as many as those found in the current-generation Tegra 3.
