Month after month, quarter after quarter, NVIDIA’s marketing machine desperately tries to convince people that the Tegra chip for smartphones and tablets is the best thing to ever happen to the mobile industry. But if you really stop and think about it, how many devices can you name off the top of your head that actually have a Tegra chip inside? There’s the HTC One X, Surface RT, Nexus 7, and … that’s it....

NVIDIA being NVIDIA, when they announced that they were going to get into mobile chip business, they also announced something called “TegraZone”. In a nutshell, it’s a third party app store that only has games that are optimized for Tegra hardware. Unfortunately, when it comes to mobile phone and tablet chips, NVIDIA’s market share is frighteningly small. Besides the 2012 Nexus 7 and the HTC One X, I honestly can’t think of any Tegra powered devices worth buying....

If the leaked benchmark is to be believed, the Nokia X2 will be a considerable upgrade over the X in a couple of areas....

It feels just like yesterday when Samsung announced the 720p Galaxy S III. When rumors started floating around about the Galaxy S4, saying that it would have a 1080p panel, very few people, myself included, believed it would happen. Surprisingly, it did. So what’s next for smartphones? According to ETNews, display makers expect to break the 500 dpi mark in 2014. The first product to do so will likely be a 6 inch panel that has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels....

Realistically, though, most of the applications used to power these kinds of advances won’t rely solely on quantum computing. They’ll likely use hybrid quantum-classical computing, with some algorithms optimized for quantum computing and others running on classical computing infrastructure. Currently, though, there’s a missing piece of the puzzle: a way for most high-performance computing (HPC) developers to accelerate their existing applications with quantum computers. SEE: What is quantum computing? Everything you need to know about the strange world of quantum computers To overcome this problem, Nvidia is introducing a new platform called QODA – Quantum Optimized Device Architecture – that will create a unified, open environment across traditional computers and quantum processors....
