1080p is coming to the mobile environment…

Jen-Hsun Huang, president, CEO and co-founder of NVIDIA; and LG VP Yongseok Jang jointly introduced the LG Optimus 2X — billed as the first “super phone” using the NVIDIA Tegra2 chip — Wednesday during NVIDIA’s CES press conference.

LG’s Optimus 2X Android phone has a variety of features that will no doubt interest Hollywood — including 1080p HD video resolution, HDMI connectivity, and the ability to multitask on your mobile. The LG Optimus 2X includes a 4-inch WVGA screen; 8GB memory (up to 32GB via microSD); 1,500 mAh battery; 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera; HDMI mirroring; and 1080p MPEG-4/H.264 playback and recording.

Also during its press conference, NVIDIA revealed that it plans to build ARM-based CPU cores, designed to support future products ranging from personal computers and servers to workstations and supercomputers. “ARM is the fastest-growing CPU architecture in history,” Huang said. “This marks the beginning of the Internet Everywhere era, where every device provides instant access to the Internet, using advanced CPU cores and rich operating systems.”
