NVIDIA Tegra 2 could double its speed

Word has it that the NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 mobile processor could probably double the performance of its predecessor when it rolls out next year, thanks to the switch to the newer ARM9 architecture. Assuming it combines well with the graphics core, the updated Tegra 2 could be a force to be reckoned with. As it is, current Tegra chips are already capable of 720p HD video playback, while untapped variants can already handle 1080p with aplomb. Guess mobile devices are going to get a whole lot more exciting in time to come.
