Motorola Xoom

Speaking during a recent interview by Forbes, Jen-Hsun Huang Nvidia’s CEO confirmed that the company’s quad-core processor, codenamed “Kal-El”, would feature in tablet PC devices by the end of this year.

“We’re the only people seriously on the dance floor with Qualcomm, we’re really the only two active players [in the tablet PC processor market],” said Huang.

While Nvidia originally planned for the quad-core processors to feature in tablets and smartphones by the end of 2011, he has now hinted that quad-core smartphones won’t appear until 2012.

The Nvidia mobile business section of the company currently generates around $2 billion annually and the company expects that to grow to around $20 billion by 2015. Huang was quick to point out that Nvidia currently features in 50 percent of the Android smartphone market, and 70 percent of the Android tablet market.
