By 2013, Nvidia expects to launch two new chips: one code-named Wayne for the high end and another code-named Grey for the low end.
Grey for LTE integration
The Grey processor, coming in 2013, was specifically called out as supporting Windows Phone (and of course Android, Windows and Linux). The Grey processors will be built on 28 nm and feature Icera’s LTE modem built-in. Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia called Grey “a tiny chip to address the vast majority of the smartphone market."
Nvidia Wayne Tegra 4
VR-Zone - Nvidia Tegra 4 Wayne spec sheet was leaked.
The first Tegra 4 “Wayne” SoC we can expect from NVIDIA will be in Q1 of 2013. It has been given the model number T40 and will feature a 1.8GHz Cortex A15 processor. The remaining Tegra 4 models are expected for Q3 of 2013, but most interesting is the SP3X SoC which not only has the potential to be clocked at speeds of 2.0GHz, but it could be the first Tegra chip with LTE100/HSPA42.
