NVIDIA Tegra 4i shows up in mysterious ‘brand’ phone, promises Q1 2014 debut

NVIDIA Tegra 4i shows up in new 'brand' phone, will come to market in Q1 2014

While we’ve yet to see NVIDIA’s Tegra 4i show up in any commercially available hardware, the company is still keen to remind us it’s on the way. This time, the 28nm Cortex-A9 chip is making an appearance inside what appears to be a new, revised reference design or white-label phone. Spotted over on AnandTech, the mysterious device sports “brand,” er, branding (we’re guessing to be replaced by operator markings), along with a 4.8-inch 720p display, a 13-megapixel shooter and LTE / HSPA+ that would cover multiple (yet unspecified) regions. This does appear to be a little more than just a demo unit though, with NVIDIA telling AnandTech that the device will come to market sometime in Q1 2014, costing $300 – $400 sans contract in 8, 16 or 32GB varieties. Other Tegra 4i handsets are also said to be in the works, starting as low as $200 commitment-free.

Computex 2013 wrapup Windows 8, tablets, Haswell, highres displays, earthquakes and more!

This year’s Computex certainly didn’t come and go quietly. From a 6.5-magnitude earthquake shortly after landing in Taipei to tons of tablets, smartphones, Haswell systems and more peripherals than you can shake a Taiwan dollar at, this has been one whirlwind week of hot and humid adventure. Unlike other shows abroad, this country’s massive computer exhibition is only growing in importance, as more manufacturers from both East and West choose to announce products and services here in the Republic of China.

The week was filled with unveilings both revolutionary and evolutionary — from quirky to crucial, there was a lot to take in. You’ll find many of our show picks at our Computex 2013 event page; there are dozens upon dozens of articles, hands-on videos and photo galleries to sift through, so set aside some time over the weekend and dig on in. We’ve also rounded up links to each and every related post after the break — click on through for all that and more.

Gigabyte unveils Intel 4th-gen gaming laptops with NVIDIA 765M, 770M graphics

Gigabyte announces two gaming laptops with Intel and NVIDIA's latest tech

After an eventful Computex 2013, Gigabyte has fired its final PR salvo: the launch of the P27K and P25W gaming laptops. The latter is a 15.6-inch, 1080P successor to the P2542G, but ups the ante with a 4th-gen Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU, NVIDIA GTX 770M 3GB graphics, up to 24GB RAM, space for up to two 256GB mSATA SSDs and 1TB of RAID 0 HDD storage, a backlit keyboard, Blu-ray RW drive and that oh-so-gamer case design that tips the scales at 6.6 pounds. Meanwhile, the P27K has a larger 17-inch, 1080P display but otherwise identical specs — other than NVIDIA 765M 2GB graphics, space for a single 256GB SSD, seven pound heft and Sound Blaster tech instead of the P25W’s Dolby Home Theater sound. The 15.6-inch P25W will arrive late June for $1,300 to $1,800 depending on memory configuration, and the 17.3-inch P27K will come a month later for the same price. That sum should let you game and still, you know, eat — check the PR after the break for more.

Lenovo’s IdeaPad Y510p high-perf laptop: Haswell Core i7, NVIDIA 750M, $989

 EDIT Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p

What’s Lenovo been hiding up its sleeve? Apparently, it’s the IdeaPad Y510p. The company has recently started selling the 15.6-inch multimedia laptop via New Egg and its website without prior announcement. A follow-up to the Y500, the Y510p is powered by Intel’s new Haswell Core i7 2.4GHz quad-core processor and is equipped with NVIDIA’s 750M GPU. Lenovo claims a 5-hour battery life, which doesn’t sound too implausible given what we recently squeezed out of MSI’s Core i7 gamer. There’s no official word on thickness, but readers at the Notebook Review forum reported that it has a slightly thinner profile. The company has also replaced its predecessor’s glossy screen with a full HD matte, anti-glare display. Prices for the IdeaPad Y510p start at $989 after applying an e-coupon, but if you’re willing to shell out more cash, you can double its 8GB RAM, add another graphics card, supplement its 1TB HDD with a 24GB SSD, and install a Blu-ray-slash-DVD-RW optical drive. If you’re looking for something smaller (yet more expensive), then check out Sony’s VAIO Pro 13.

Earlier today an NVIDIA demonstration at Computex revealed a bit about their upcoming tablet processor Tegra 4, doing so on a tablet that looked – if we had to guess – like something HTC would deliver to the masses.
