Ces 2013

[amjath]

Hi,
I'm planning to maintain this thread for CES [Consumer Electronics Show] 2013.
I will try to post technology news to be unveiled @ CES.
First I read about CES is this

Samsung expands its audio products with its new wireless Bluetooth Speakers

Samsung has just let loose a press release this evening before CES starts in earnest, revealing its very own wireless Bluetooth speaker and a few new home theater audio systems. The wireless speaker goes by the moniker DA-F60, and it follows a pattern that we think will be re-tread many times during CES. The DA-F60 thankfully uses the apt-X codec for wireless streaming over Bluetooth (rather than some lower-quality codecs), and it features NFC so you can sync your phone to the speaker painlessly. In addition, Samsung says the speaker can connect to Bluetooth-enabled TVs using a feature called "SoundShare." The speaker is an attempt to offer something similar to Airplay, Apple's successful and dead-simple syncing technology, and by coming out early Samsung is getting out of the gate first before the deluge.

Soundshare Bluetooth eh I smell new Samsung Smart TV's with inbuilt Bluetooth

Other than portable speakers, Samsung is continuing its love affair with vacuum tube home theater audio products. In what the company claims is a "world's first," it's announced a soundbar taking advantage of the analog tech. Samsung has christened the soundbar the HW-F750, and, like the DA-F60, it's equipped with Bluetooth so you can connect it wirelessly to your TV set — so long as it also has Bluetooth. Lastly, the Korean company has also announced a 1,330-watt, 7.1 channel home theater system with vacuum tubes and Bluetooth called the HT-F9750W, and it has unveiled the UHD-upscaling BD-F7500 Blu-ray player. There's no pricing or availability for any of these products, but we'll keep an eye out.

World's Fastest Mobile Processor -Nvidia

Nvidia unveiled its Tegra 4 processor Sunday, a chip that will bring consumers more power in mobile devices and help Nvidia remain competitive in the fast moving mobile market.

The Tegra 4 is based on ARM's quad-core Cortex-A15 processor and also packs in 72 graphics processing unit cores.

"This thing is flooded with GPU cores," said Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang (above) at a press conference at the International CES.

Those processing cores will provide consumers with faster performance, but pre-launch speculation about the chip had centered on whether portable devices really need more processing power.

Huang sought to address that issue during a demonstration on stage when he pitted a Nexus 10 tablet, which he called "the fastest tablet in the world today," against a Tegra 4-based tablet. The two tablets were set to load 25 high-traffic web sites: the Tegra 4 did it in 27 seconds and the Nexus 10 tablet in 50 seconds.

That's quite impressive over there. But wait for others to reveal

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix = Laptop + tablet + more

When I start reading this post I really got excited. Why??

A laptop, a tablet, touchscreen, full hd resolution, 4G LTE connectivity, active Wacom stylus pen, NFC support, $1400 price

Its not over yet. There is a special cooling system which allows the machine to overclock the Intel i7 processor giving it the headroom for overclockers. This part is so much awesome.

Here's everything:

CES 2013: Nvidia Announces Project Shield And Tegra 4

The grid computer is great for the future of cloud based gaming services. Its freaking powerful too for server gaming hardware.
Tegra 4 seems like a beast. Packs 4 A15 cores ( no dual core sku's) and the gpu is heavily redesigned with a LTE modem processor to bring down power consumption.

Next is that amazing gaming handheld called "Shield" which packs a tegra 4 SOC. Its one powerful handheld.

^ Wow, but I think next gen Apple processor [possibly A7] will beat tegra 4 easily

^ Wow, but I think next gen Apple processor [possibly A7] will beat tegra 4 easily

A7 is still a year or more away and will possibly have A15. Won't expect advantage in processing power. But tegra 4's gpu seems to be its strongest point apart from A15 (which is also freakingly powerful).

This gpu supposedly has a uniform shader architecture. That will lead to some highly improved performance in tablets running full win 8 with direct3d support.
Can't wait to see how it does against next gen Mali t600.

Besides, it has something called CPR. Read below:

The Tegra 4 also introduces new computational photography architecture, which adds a new engine to drive the image processing and significantly improve the amount of time it takes to calculate the necessary mathematics 10 times faster than current platforms. To show off its power, NVIDIA demonstrated HDR rendering on live video. The chip is also capable of implementing HDR in burst shots and with LED flash. The idea, NVIDIA says, is to eventually make our mobile cameras more powerful than DSLRs, and this is certainly a step in the right direction.

Btw watch dead trigger 2 in tegra 4. The game looks amazing to be honest.

They were playing this at more than 1080p resolution (possibly 4k).

Wayne is certainly interesting.

 

[amjath]

Wow ll check this video @ home. can t access @ work

 

[rider]

After knowing about tegra 4 I would say only one thing that is OH MY GOD!!

 

[shaurya.malik88]

Wow...Would like to give my contribution to this thread as well. There are some buzz about the launch of lg Ultra HDTV's in different sizes as well CES 2013: LG unveils 55in and 65in Ultra HD 4K TVs | whathifi.com while samsung may launch their 85" ultra HDTV there as well..

^^ Thanks for the link mate. Highly appreciated.

^^Superb.

 

[coderunknown]

don't think so. acc to Anandtech:

09:50PM PST - Ok this is definitely rendered at a lower resolution, not 4K
09:54PM PST - Agree with Brian on this one - looks like 720p render target, perhaps with AA

 

[vickybat]

^^ Well there's a high chance of that being 1080p though which is still great. And that guy also mentioned AA.
This gpu surely has some juice.

Its not only 4k TV's everywhere but 4k recorders too. Its from Sony, 4k Handycam

^^ It seems tegra 4 has already got a worthy competitor. I reckon qualcomm's cpu perfromance might exceed tegra 4 if they would have customized the A15 cores.
Its going to be like tegra 4 gpu vs adreno 330.

Tegra 4 is still the king of mobile processor. Waiting for the response by Samsung's Exynos 5.

if u think 10 inch tablet is not enough for you, then u need to check out 20 inch Windows tablet with 4K resolution

All the media/HDMI ports are arranged in the base stand of the LG OLED TV - probably it has the other innards too. The extremely thin profile is one of the strong points of OLED TVs - and all the OLED TV makers are hell-bent on showing it to the maximum.
