LG today announced that it will be using Nvidia’s Tegra 2 line of dual-core processors for “a series of fast, powerful smartphones starting in the fourth quarter of 2010.” LG didn’t specifically define what operating system will be running the Tegra 2, but LG did mention that the Tegra 2 will be used in its Optimus-branded smartphones. LG recently announced that Optimus 7 will be the branding used for its Windows Phone 7 devices, which go on sale during the fourth quarter, too. In addition to two 1GHz cores, the Tegra 2 also has Nvidia’s GeForce graphics processing unit, support for 1080p HD playback, and 3D gaming capabilities.
