There is a roadmap surfaced of Nvidia that code names shows new Tegra chips. By the start of 2013 a new soc appear that the existing Tegra 3 should follow. Nvidia bases the the chip on Cortex A15 cores from ARM.
According to the roadmap, which is on a Chinese site was posted, is the successor of the Tegra 3 is planned for release in the first quarter of 2013. This is still Nvidia of the existing four-plus-one system to use, with a fifth, lower geklokte core tasks can act that requires little processing power is needed, so as to save battery life. In place of Cortex A9 cores enable Nvidia about on the Cortex A15 design from ARM, which has better performance per kloktik offers. The new Tegra chip, codenamed T40, can clock up to 1.8 GHz run.
In the third quarter of 2013, there are two variants on the new Tegra-soc: a version with codename T43 should clock speed of 2GHz per core can handle, while the variant with code name AP40 in clock speed between the 1.2 GHz and 1.8 GHz per core can run. The latter is, according to Nvidia is not meant for the high-endmarkt: the chip is described as ‘mainstream’.
Finally comes Nvidia with a mainstream chip, which is currently under the code name SP3X is known. This also is in the third quarter of 2013, but is in contrast to the other soc with Cortex A9 cores, just like Tegra 3. Clock speed per core can vary between 1.2 GHz and 2GHz. However, the SP3X support for lte built in on the chip. The current series of chips does not yet have support for the 4g network technology.
