I believe it's this one: http://www.chromeexperiments.com/detail/webgl-aquarium/?f=we...

#23When can I get this in my laptop?
The Asus Transformer Prime should be out in early December. It's a netbook/tablet combo if you get the keyboard.

#24I guess its nice, but it sort of seems unimpressive from where I sit. All the other people making A9s just use a 45nm low power process and are able to clock their chips up past 1GHz just fine. NVidia has to use a normal process to get their 4 main cores past 1GHz, and the single A9 they have on LP silicon is clocked way lower. ARM's proposed tandem between A7 and A15 cores seems much more interesting.

#26Can somebody confirm that it doesn't have wireless (GSM, CMDA, LTE, 802.x, etc.) integrated? This would make it different to the Snapdragon, OMAP, A5 etc. system-on-chip
A5 and OMAP don't have 3G/4G integrated in them. A5 uses Qualcomm's 3G chip. Having a 3G chip integrated is more of an exception in the industry, not the rule. Although everyone seems to be moving in that direction right now. Nvidia also bought a company recently to integrate LTE in their chips in the near future.
Qualcomm has an easier time integrating the modems for one simple reason: they make them. Can't think of many other SoC vendors that also make their own modems (maybe Samsung?).

st-ericsson's novathor seems to be stealing a good bit of market share from Qualcomm in upcoming phones.

This version doesn't, but a future Tegra will integrate an Icera baseband.

Funny - first thing I thought as well. But the video decoder is just h.264 up to high profile, so it should, in theory, work for html5 video as well
I would've thought chip makers would decode WebM, too, by now. Google won't stay on h.264 forever.
They do, Tegra 2, 3 and OMAP4 decode VP8 in hardware.

#30What strikes me is that this could compete with current generation game consoles, so next gen consoles might be Tegra "Wayne" (from Wikipedia) : Processor: quad- or octa-core ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore Improved 24 (for the quad-core) and 32 to 64 (for the octa-core) GPU cores with support for Directx 11+, OpenGL 4.X, OpenCL 1.X, and Physx 28 nm[23] About 10 times faster than Tegra 2 This would be low-power/low-cost game c…
Was just hopping in here to post this -- Xbox.next got named (Loop for now) and details leaked about how it is an ARM-based design with dedicated chips for each major process used in modern gaming (video, physics, audio, etc.)[1]
After seeing the specs on the Tegra 3, I can't help but think that Tegra 3++ or "Tegra 4" will basically by the Xbox-next.
