ZTE T98 based on NVIDIA Tegra Kal-El is represented in China

Finally, after long waits, the first signs of tablets began to appear on the hardware platform of the NVIDIA Tegra Kal-El Project. Let me remind you that this SoC has a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, a twelve-core NVIDIA GeForce ULP video accelerator, which will eventually allow you to play games with nice graphics, including high-resolution textures, dynamic shadows, and good physics. For some reason, journalists also began to inflate the marketing applications of the NVIDIA PR department about the fifth core, although the companion core is not such a revolution as we are told all this. In general, more to the point:


The tablet is equipped with a 7 "screen with a resolution of 1280x800. What kind of screen is not yet clear, there is no reliable information.
The insides are the best on the ARM devices market
CPU - ARM Cortex-A9 with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, while the frequency was artificially lowered from 1.5 GHz.
RAM - 1 Gb. The frequency characteristics of the RAM are unknown.
SSD - 16 Gb. Surely there will be variations from 8 to 32, at least.
The most important thing is the battery. It is quite adequate - 4000mAh. Because the top 7 "solution from Acer - A100 battery is just horrible (about 1500 mAh). Considering that NVIDIA is threatening that Kal-El will be even more economical than Tegra 2, then you can not worry about the duration of the work.
3G options will be accurate.
All this iron beauty will be controlled by Android 3.2.

The price is not yet known, but in the wake of NVIDIA marketing, I doubt that even the most budget option will be $ 500. This is very regrettable, considering that it is not enough to make the tablet a better iPad2 hardware, but it is also preferable for him to add a smaller price tag.

I note truthfully that Qualcomm is preparing its quad-core brainchild in early 2012, which will be produced using the 28-nm process technology (Kal-El has only 40-nm, as in Tegra 2), and TI is preparing processors based on ARM - ARM Cortex-A15. So NVIDIA needs to hurry either with the withdrawal of devices on the market, or to prepare Kal-El + quickly.

PS By the way, since we are talking about Tegra Kal-El, I must say that the tablets on this platform will not immediately begin to receive updates to Android 4.0, since Google chose Texas Instruments as a supplier of priority hardware platforms, therefore, it is OMAP devices that will receive ICS before all, or will receive better updates, because NVIDIA and Qualcomm still need to optimize their drivers. This was said by Mr. Shravan, CEO of Notion Ink. And yes, Adam users will receive their update in November.
