Last July 4 2013, we were invited to the Launch of Galapad, a very awesome 7-inch gaming tablet powered by the world’s famous Tegra 3 processor.
Galapad has already been rumored in the tech industry a few months ago and we were lucky to be the first to witness the performance of this powerful tablet from Galaxy Microsystems. Galapad claims that their tablet is powerful and can handle heavy gaming because it is powered by Nvidia Tegra 3 processor. With this processor, Galapad is designed to be an ultimate multitasking and gaming mobile device.
One of the officers of Nvidia explained to us how powerful Nvidia processors are – That it is being used by the leading brands of desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. It is also being used by most computer stores and computer shops especially those that offer online gaming services. Nvidia provides the best gaming experience that people wanted to have.
Powered by Tegra 3 Processor
KEY INNOVATIONS
- Quad-Core with a 5th Battery-Saver Core** – NVIDIA’s innovative Variable SMP architecture (PDF 919 KB) enables four performance cores to be used for max burst, when needed, with each core independently and automatically enabled and disabled based on workload. The single battery-saver core (or companion core) handles low-power tasks like active standby, music, and video, and is transparent to the OS and applications.
- NVIDIA Direct Touch* – This is a patent-pending architecture that improves touch responsiveness and reduces power consumption by offloading a portion of the touch processing onto the Tegra 3 processor.
- 3D Stereo Gaming* – This capability leverages the award-winning NVIDIA 3D Vision® technology to automatically, and in real-time, convert OpenGL based games and apps into Stereo 3D.
- NVIDIA PRISM Display Technology* – PRISM (or Pixel Rendering Intensity and Saturation Management) reduces a mobile device’s backlight power while simultaneously enhancing the pixel color to deliver the same visual quality with substantially extended battery life.
Features:
- Twice the speed: The new Tegra 3 quad-core processor is the most powerful mobile chip in existence. It delivers up to twice the CPU and graphics performance of other devices, and it makes GALAPAD feel faster and even more responsive. Apps launch instantly and run smoothly. Graphics-intensive games are fluid and lifelike on the gorgeous IPS display.
- Pictures perfect: GALAPAD, with its 7″ IPS display, delivers seamlessly brilliant colors that redefine the best visual experience a tablet can offer. The ultra slim 7″ IPS display offers brilliant contrast ratio, the best color gamut, and rapid response times, making text and images extraordinarily crisp and vivid regardless of the viewing angle.
- Portable entertainment: With the 2.0 megapixel front camera, you can easily make video calls and record every splendid moment in your life. GALAPAD supports various video formats and allows you to enjoy Full HD video on the 7″ screen, wherever you are.
