So $131 million this quarter for Tegra, and $398 million for the entire year.
Aside from NV30 and Fermi, when did they not deliver? AMD is notorious for over promising on performance and under performing. Titan Killer Anyone? Or how about Bulldozer? Steamroller? How bout 290x retail cards being slower than review cards? FX Processors? Or rebranding Fusion to HSA to fool consumers into thinking it's all new and different.
And this is only in recent years. I don't feel like going back into the ATi days with drivers that cheated on 3dmark, cut corners doing AA and AF, etc.
And don't get me wrong, nV has had their share of problems, but nowhere near as much of a track record of promising the world only to leave the fanboys in complete disappointment.
The G2 mini compromises in two key areas, eschewing the excellent Snapdragon 800 processor for a choice between Snapdragon 400 or Nvidia Tegra 4i chips, and dropping to a disappointing qHD (540 x 960) screen resolution. Further cost-cutting options are also available, such as a lower-res 8-megapixel camera and non-LTE variants. At least the software on board will be the latest available, Android 4.4 KitKat, and LG promises to carry over its full suite of added features, such as Guest Mode, to the new phone.
The Verge says the LG G2 Mini will have a version with Tegra 4i (but their source doesn't mention any SoC whatsoever..):
Another thing that doesn't add up is that the choice between Tegra 4i and a Snapdragon 400. At least according to the specs, the Tegra 4i should have a performance similar to the much more powerful Snapdragon 600. The Snapdragon has, at best, a quad-core Cortex A7 @ 1.6GHz, while the T4i has a quad-core Cortex A9 up to 2.3GHz.

German heise.de above claims a frequency of 1.2GHz for the quad A9(R4) *yawn* if true.
We can all agree that if those clock speeds are correct, it's not a Tegra 4i.
There's probably something wrong with the Verge's article.
Nonetheless, models with the Tegra 4i should be announced within a few weeks during MWC.
Most likely yes. By the way did anyone read at BSN Carmack's latest comment over K1?
They should have included all the pertinent tweets from Mr Carmack
"Difference is how much the platform gets between you and the hardware, and, in the case of mobile, power and thermal limits"
"For the same given paper spec, a console will deliver twice the perf of a PC, and a PC will deliver twice the perf of a mobile part."
Tegra 4 is last year's part and they're trying to get it on this year's devices?
When are the K1 devices due?
