NVIDIA expands its TegraZone coverage to Microsoft tablets and smartphones.
NVIDIA's deep expertise in visual and mobile computing, and its extensive collaboration with Microsoft Corp., mean that consumers will enjoy premium experiences running on NVIDIA-powered systems for Windows 8 and Windows RT. PCs with NVIDIA GeForce GPUs will deliver exceptional experiences for editing photos and video, playing games and browsing the web because Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 now take advantage of graphics hardware. And NVIDIA Tegra processors will power a new generation of amazingly thin and light Windows RT devices that run for days on a single charge.
Windows RT marks the first time that PCs have been able to take advantage of incredibly efficient ARM-based processors like Tegra 3, enabling two weeks of connected standby time. The majority of Windows RT devices at launch use NVIDIA Tegra 3, including the ASUS Vivo Tab RT, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 and Microsoft Surface RT.
"We've worked with Microsoft for three years to ensure that Windows RT delivers a seamless experience on mobile devices," said Rene Haas, vice president and general manager of computing products at NVIDIA. "Our experience with Windows and expertise on ARM makes NVIDIA specially qualified to deliver a premium Windows experience on any system -- from sexy and sleek Windows RT tablets to high-end gaming PCs."
