In a recent round table discussion with the press, Nvidia’s outspoken CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang said that their mobile arm will grow from its current revenue generation of $2 billion to $20 billion by 2015. Their main graphics business will see a global market increase of only 75% to $7 billion within the same time frame.
Huang was quick to point out that their Tegra 1 & 2 chips are featured in nearly 50% of all Android based smartphones and over 70% in Android tablets currently in the market. The only other firm that they feel is larger than them is Qualcomm. ”We’re the only person actively on the dance floor with Qualcomm,” Huang told Forbes. He also mentioned that the majority of smartphone apps are designed for the ARM CPUs, which is one place where Intel’s current Atom line of CPUs will be in trouble due to their X86 architecture. ”They’re speaking the wrong language. We’re not worried about them at all.”

There’s a market of 100 million smartphone and tablet devices in the current market, a number that can balloon up to 1 billion with more need for smartphones, energy efficient and highly portable laptops. ”If you don’t have a mobile strategy, you’re in deep turd,” Huang said. “If you’re not in mobile processors now, you’re seven years too late.”
Huang says that their quad-core Tegra 3 chips, code named Kal-El, will be coming out on tablets by the end of this year, with smartphones featuring Kal-El in early 2012.
