Demo: NVIDIA previews Ice Cream Sandwich on Asus Transformer Prime tablet   Android4 on Transformer Prime demo

If you’ve been wondering what Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich looks (and feels) like when it’s running on a tablet powered by NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor, then here’s a quick first look. NVIDIA has put out a demo video that shows off the high-end system’s goodies on the Asus Transformer Prime. Regrettably, the clip’s a bit too short for our liking, but it did cover the system’s abilities quite nicely, showing quick UI transitions, 1080p HD movie playback, and Riptide GP, a 3D game that makes full use of the system’s four cores. Video after the break.

NVIDIA officially intros quad core Tegra 3 chip for mobile devices   Nvidia tegra 3

Among its highlights, the new mobile chip promises to deliver “PC-class” performance to tablets and smartphones with three times the graphics performance of the dual-core Tegra 2, but uses up to %61 less power.

Nvidia shows off next gen quad core Kal El chip for mobiles   Nvidia KalEl demo

Nvidia just put out a preview of their upcoming quad core Kal-El chip’s capabilities at Computex with a video demo that looks as awesome as a Superman-named chip sounds. What’s in it? A demo of a game where you roll a glowing circus ball around. Yeah, definitely not as intriguing as “firing a bunch of teed-off birds at pigs,” but it’s not about the game. It’s about what the quad-core can do. And what exactly can it do? Dynamic lighting, realistic physics, and graphics that are “smooth as butter.” If you’re into mobile gaming, you’re definitely going to want to check out the demo video because if this is what’s going to power tablets by the end of the year, you’re going to want a new tablet.

Now showing on YouTube: 3D clips for users of Nvidia’s 3D Vision tech   Nvidia 3d vision youtube

Nvidia and YouTube has teamed up to put out a number of free 3D videos that you can view for free. While anyone can check out the 3D clips posted on YouTube, it’s not exactly for everyone, because you’re going to need to view them using Nvidia’s own 3D Vision kit to get the full effect. The effect being what Nvidia calls the best 3D videos available on YouTube.
