Tegra 3 to support LTE, no more HSPA+ only Tegra devices
4G LTE is the fastest mobile data technology we have around, but it has been having issues with adoption. This is mainly due to the fact that many chips do not support LTE connectivity. Most manufacturers lean towards Qualcomm for LTE-compatible chipsets. Tegra 3 processors have been about the most desired devices for LTE users, but this is about to change, as NVIDIA is working on making its devices LTE-compatible.
NVIDIA has formed a partnership with GCT Semiconductor and Renesas mobile to bring the blazing speeds of 4G LTE to its products. It might take some time before we start seeing these devices show up, though. We can all hope for some more details to be announced during the coming days. And we can’t wait to play around with some of these smartphones. Mixing the performance of Tegra processors with 4G LTE speeds sounds like the deal of the year.
Let’s stay tuned for more details. But for now, let us know what you think! Have you been waiting to see Tegra 3 devices running on 4G LTE networks?
