NVIDIA has just released details on Project Kal-El. What is Project Kal-El? Well, remember that NVIDIA has just released the Tegra 2 smartphone chip. This is being followed closely by the Tegra 2 3D. As you may surmise, the 3-D version is just a Tegra 2 with support for 3D content, and may some clock speeds being adjusted upwards. NVIDIA has also promised to release the Tegra 3 this year. Project Kal-El is the Tegra 3. In short, what NVIDIA did for the graphics cards with 6 month cycles, they now want to do for smartphones and tablets. Anandtech is reporting that tablets based on the Tegra 3 (aka Project Kal-el) are due to arrive in August 2011.
Whereas Tegra 2 is a two-core chip, Project Kal-el will be a quad-core chip. Personally, I wonder how long it will be before lawyers come after NVIDIA for using these names. Take a look at Anandtech’s article. They have some videos of the chip already running decoding full HD movies.

These are just CODENAMES, a lot of companies use them but the final shipping product doesn’t have the codename in them. Also Wayne, Logan, Stark are all generic names and surnames, how can you trademark them.
