LG announced today that it would introduce a series of fast, powerful smartphones starting in the fourth quarter of 2010 utilizing the second-generation NVIDIA Tegra 2 mobile processor. Tegra 2 processor lineup includes the world's first dual-core CPU, which powers through complex tasks to achieve significant leaps in performance.

LG says, Tegra 2 features a number of mobile "firsts": the first mobile dual-core CPU, the only ultra low-power NVIDIA GeForce GPU and the first 1080p HD mobile video processor. Taking full advantage of the two speedy 1 GHz processors sharing the workload in Tegra 2, consumers can experience up to 2x faster web browsing and up to 5x faster gaming performance over single core processors running at 1 GHz.

"LG is committed to making its Optimus Series smart devices the de facto standard in speed and graphics performance," said Chang Ma, Vice President of Marketing Strategy Team, LG Mobile Communications Company. "We selected NVIDIA because it is the visual computing leader and has a long history of creating amazing consumer experiences."
