Sunday, October 18th, 2009

The first and important news that needs to be delivered first is that the next-generation Nintendo DS is going to be launched in 2010. In fact this is the successor of the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSLite and the Nintendo DSi. This will have more powerful graphics technology than the three.

Now the next news: nVidia Tegra will now produce a system chip for the handheld. They have won a contract. This deal would boost nVidia significant profits because DS has gained massive success.

This can also be seen as a coup because Nintendo earlier had been an IBM and ATI customer.

What was the reason of this deal?

nVidia is offering a single-chip for the handheld. It has reduced costs and also the complexities.

Well, this news is still a rumour floated from BrightSideOfNews.com.
