faster web browsing and up to 5x faster gaming performance over single
core processors running at 1 GHz. NVIDIA’s leadership in graphics also
delivers flawless 1080p HD video playback, console-quality gaming and
amazing 3D capabilities.
“LG is committed to making its Optimus
Series smart devices the de facto standard in speed and graphics

visual computing leader and has a long history of creating amazing
consumer experiences.”
“The ultimate smartphones will be powered
by Tegra, the world’s most advanced mobile processor,” said Phil
Carmack, senior vice president of NVIDIA’s mobile business. “LG is one
of the most popular consumer brands, and their Optimus Series of devices
with Tegra is further validation of the processor’s ability to deliver
