Nvidia no longer wants to be just in the graphics and processor industry. Similar to Intel, the company has been exploring manufacturing other tech products like a computer tablet. In fact, recently, the company just announced their Android-based console, Shield. Can Nvidia break grounds?

Just last June at the Computex Taipei, Jen-Hsun Huang, Nvidia's CEO showed a number of Chinese names using the Tegra 4 tablet prototype. the form of the tablet is around 6 inches though at that time it did not attracted that much attention.

Nvidia did not let out any further details.

It was not until website GFXBench featured a device under the name NVIDIA Tegra Note Premium did speculations started surfacing. Likewise, following the introduction of the company's Android console Shield, it has become apparent.

Nvidia is expanding. The company is trying their hands on both the gaming and computing market. For a firm that has been heavily involved in computer graphics and processors, it can be both natural and challenging. Natural since they already have the expertise on certain tech aspects but challenging because a chipset is different from a whole computer set.

As the name suggests, Nvidia is gearing up for a tablet. This signifies the company's intent to brand their own computer sets. Other details include a Tegra 4 processor clocked at 1.8GHz, a 1280 x 736 screen resolution and Android 4.2. It is important to note that the configurations of the original Google Nexus 7 is extremely similar.

First generation Nexus 7 features Tegra 3. This tablet from Nvidia has Tegra 4. The company will have to make an official announcement over it. Several sources say that based from the chip architecture of the device, people can expect a good performing tablet.

As for the display, the company did not earn its name if it did not know the right resolutions and display configurations to suit the market's taste. The Nvidia Android Shield has been gaining attention from its announcement. People are waiting for the company to make this official.

The question, can it give Google Nexus 7, the supposedly top tablet on the market, a run for its money?
