One VCM powers the 17-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and one drives the 12.3-inch all digital instrument cluster." In summer of 2012 Tesla Motors began shipping the Model S all electric, high performance sedan, which contains two NVIDIA Tegra 3D Visual Computing Modules (VCM). The processor will be integrated into Audi's entire line of vehicles worldwide, beginning in 2013. In January 2012, Nvidia announced that Audi had selected the Tegra 3 processor for its In-Vehicle Infotainment systems and digital instruments display. Early benchmark results show impressive gains over Tegra 2, and the chip was used in many of the tablets released in the second half of 2011. Though the chip was codenamed Kal-El, it is now branded as Tegra 3. Nvidia announced the first quad-core SoC at the February 2011 Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona. Tegra 2 support for the Ubuntu Linux distribution was also announced on the Nvidia developer forum. Nvidia primarily supports Android on Tegra 2, but booting other ARM-supporting operating systems is possible on devices where the bootloader is accessible. On January 7, 2010, Nvidia officially announced and demonstrated its next generation Tegra system-on-a-chip, the Nvidia Tegra 250, at Consumer Electronics Show 2010. At Mobile World Congress 2009, Nvidia introduced its port of Google's Android to the Tegra. In September 2008, Nvidia and Opera Software announced that they would produce a version of the Opera 9.5 browser optimized for the Tegra on Windows Mobile and Windows CE. Microsoft's Kin was the first cellular phone to use the Tegra however, the phone did not have an app store, so the Tegra's power did not provide much advantage. The first product to use the Tegra was Microsoft's Zune HD media player in September 2009, followed by the Samsung M1. The APX chips were designed for smartphones, while the Tegra 600 and 650 chips were intended for smartbooks and mobile Internet devices (MID).
The Tegra 6xx product line was revealed on June 2, 2008, and the APX 2600 was announced in February 2009. The Tegra APX 2500 was announced on February 12, 2008.
