Nvidia has unveiled a new addition to its Tegra 4 family of processors, the Tegra 4i, that consists of a quad-core Cortex-A9 SoC clocked at 2.3GHz and a GPU with 60 cores.

Thanks to some stellar investigative work by an XDA member, we may have gotten our first look at how the Tegra 4 performs in real-life benchmarks.

Nvidia announced a new handheld gaming console known as the Project Shield that sports a 5-inch multi-touch display with an integrated controller and is powered by the company’s Tegra 4 SoC.

Nvidia has unveiled its next-generation mobile processor – Tegra 4 – that packs in quad-core Cortex-A15 cores and 72 GPU cores at CES.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 and Samsung’s Exynos might be the current champions of performance in the mobile arena; however, if leaked slides are to be believed, their reign might not last long. Nvidia’s Tegra 4 will be six times as powerful as the Tegra 3 and feature as many as 72 GPU cores.
