During the Computex tradeshow in Tapei, NVIDIA’s CEO Huang Jen-hsun said that sales of tablet PCs will surpass notebook sales in five years, Taiwan Economic News reported on Tuesday. It’s certainly no secret that NVIDIA hopes to profit off of that market shift — the firm already has its dual-core Tegra 2 chip in a number of tablets and phones from Motorola, LG, Samsung, Acer, and ASUS — and NVIDIA’s chief said that 14 of the top 20 global wireless carriers currently sell devices powered by its Tegra mobile processor. NVIDIA has already started showing off the power of its next-generation Kal-El quad-core mobile processor, too, but Hung says the company won’t stop there. It’s charging forward and will roll out a total of three new GPU models featuring a 28nm process technology between 2012 and 2014. The next chips are codenamed Wayne, Logan, and Shark.

    I still dont see the hype about the tegra. Sure it has good benchmarks, but what about the way it plays with lte or how it gets smoked by Samsung and apples modified Samsung chip. I know the reason for this will be that the tegra 2 is from early 2010, bit if that’s the case why release it so late its out now so those are the competitors

    I think it should be Stark, not Shark (unless there is a Shark super hero I don’t know about :D )

    Nope, it will migrate into thin slates that actually have a keyboard.

      Agreed…Plus any next poster who claims that he/she can in fact fully emulate the levels of productiveness (think very very carefully about this…tweeting, fb-ing and loading failblog vids DOES NOT count) achievable from normal laptops on current tablets are in serious need of a fish slap on their foreheads.

    I don’t think so. Tablets are data consumer but not data creator. I can’t take my iPad to meeting to take notes. It’s next to impossible to type data without using physical keyboard. Again, I need to buy a physical keyboard to use it. If netbooks comes with  touchscreen and screen ditachable…that’s more than enough. No need to buy expensive iPads.
