During the recently held annual meeting of stockholders, Nvidia's VP Rob Csonger revealed their strategy for the future of Tegra 3 SoC. In late November last year, NVIDIA's CEO had said that he expects a Tegra 3 based tablet to cost as little as $299.
Now it looks like Nvidia has not only met their objective, but seem to have exceeded it. Going by what was revealed during the stockholder's meeting, Nvidia will being its onslaught of sub-$200 Tegra 3 tablets with Kai.
The company is applying the same technique it has used over the years for its GPU business, which is to create a reference design for vendors. With Kai, Nvidia wants to present a design for an Android ICS running Tegra 3 based tablet can be sold at the market at $199 price point.
They have managed to bring down the cost by using low-cost components like DDR3L memory, and reducing power requirements by implementing proprietary DirectTouch and Prism low-power display technologies.
Nvidia's Kai, or something identical, will hopefully make an appearance at this year's Google I/O, possibly manufactured by Asus.
