Tegra 2, the Chip to Revolutionize Android Gaming
Up until now, most Android phones have been very week in gaming performance. You can thank HTC and Qualcomm for promoting and making such weak GPU’s. It’s also the reason why the UI of Android has not been GPU accelerated.
Game developers are going to love the Tegra 2 chip. Not only will it be in most Android tablets, but it will also be in a lot of phones that will be made in 2011 by Motorola, LG, Samsung and even HTC. The Tegra 2 chip also brings Unreal 3 capability, which is going to make it much easier for game developers to create 3D games with rich graphics. The Tegra 2 chip is going to be so great for developers, that you’ll probably see a lot of Android games available only for Tegra 2 capable phones.
This is what’s so great about Android. Manufacturers are making devices that are some of cheapest smartphones around, but they are also making smartphones with the best of specs from any other phones with another OS on the market. Compare that with WP7 where all their phones are going to use the 1st gen Snapdragon with the very weak Adreno 200 GPU.
Tegra 2 is coming, and 2011 ss going to be one hell of a year for Android gaming and polished apps.

I’m trying so hard to wait for Tegra2 tablets.
Its gonna be tough, but if there are games like this available on a portable 7-9inch tablet for decent prices under $500, I will shat bricks.
I’m willing to open a contract with 3G or even better, 4G. If it has phone functions (or even if not), i’m willing to ditch phones for tablets completely.
Is there any Tegra device commercial today? Ooh wait there is one Toshiba AC100…and the graphics on that one sucks…checkout the Tegra2 benchmarking on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJav9ns6b4o
How do you explain that? I think this article is baseless at this point. How do you backup all that you said when you have nothing to prove it? You just lost your credibility
BTW may of the commercial UIs on Android today including HTC's Sense UI, Samsung's GalaxyS UI, SEMC's Xperia UIs have been utilizing GPU hardware. Please research before you claim
