Tech talk time! Nvidia just revealed its next gen mobile processor Project Logan at Siggraph yesterday, claiming the processor is 1.6 times more powerful than PlayStation 3. Remember, this is a mobile processor, so all of that horsepower is pretty impressive in the palm of your hand.
Of course, we all know how we need to do a mid-day recharge of our smartphones, but Nvidia says Project Logan uses less than one third of the iPad 4’s power. Rounding out some of the tech-y terminology, Project Logan features support for DirectX 11 and OpenGL to enable advanced rendering that isn’t possible on current mobile devices.
“More than ever before, we see the opportunity for developers to create high-end games and ship them across multiple platforms on a wide variety of devices, including tablet, smartphone, Windows, Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One,” Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said, adding that there will be a version of the Unreal Engine 4 available for Project Logan.
Check it out.
Nvidia announced that the processor will be shipping in mobile devices during the first half of next year, and will also be integrated into a new version of the Nvidia Shield handheld console.
