NVIDIA’s Tegra chipset to be used in Audi’s upcoming A8 satnav system with Google Earth

One of the world’s top car makers, Audi, has chosen to incorporate NVIDIA’s Tegra chipset into the satnav system of one of its upcoming cars, the Audi A8. Utilizing NVIDIA’s 3D graphics processor in Tegra, the Audi A8 satnav system will feature Google Earth images, as well as 3D models of European cities, and will be able to render entire maps topographically, shading tunnels and bridges (all thanks to Tegra). So while NVIDIA is slowly being walked out the door by Intel in the integrated graphics market, it doesn’t look like the world’s biggest discrete graphics company is going to lose business any time soon, with clients like Audi.
