NVIDIA Tegra 2 debuts, runs Unreal Engine 3

Nvidia announced that Tegra 2 has eight independent processors, including dual ARM Cortex A9 microprocessor cores. The new SoC purportedly allows for ten times the performance of a modern smart phone, and it draws only 500mW. On a single charge, Tegra 2-based devices should be able to play music for 140 hours or high-definition video for 16 hours.

Nvidia brought in Epic Games CEO and Founder Tim Sweeney, who said the new SoC was comparable in terms of specifications to both current high-end game consoles and high-end gaming PCs from two to four years ago. Sweeney proved his point by showing Unreal Engine 3, the game engine that powers Gears of War 2 and a host of other games, running on a Tegra 2 tablet. It was jarring to see it going through the motions on such a thin little device.
