NVIDIA prepares Tegra 2 3D chip
New NVIDIA Tegra, scheduled for next month, may be a 3D-capable spin on existing hardware. The Tegra 2 3D would speed up from 1GHz to 1.2GHz and add the necessary 3D output support.

Phones like Nexus S have already had to use LCDs outside of the US to match demand. The console is expected by many to ship only by mid-to-late 2011 and could arrive in sync with improved production.
