Nvidia CEO says new Android 'super chip' is much more energy efficient
|

Nvidia's upcoming quad-core "super chip", Kal-El - the tech that's reportedly powering the next set of Android devices - is achieving impressive levels of energy efficiency according to the company's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang.

"It's so much higher performance than Tegra 2, and at so much lower power," said Huang, adding that, "Kal-El is lower power in every use case compared to Tegra 2."

The Tegra successor is likely to be the chip that gets built into most future Android devices - so improved battery life may be on the cards.

Unfortunately, the CEO was rather less keen to talk software, responding to questions about the next Android OS release - Ice Cream Sandwich - by asking people to talk to Google instead.
