NVIDIA Tegra 3+ with improved performance arriving this year.

NVIDIA announced that it will be releasing an updated version of the Tegra 3, called the Tegra 3+, some time in 2012. It will be feature improved performance and will be available on both tablets and smartphones.

Unfortunately, though, unlike what it said before, this updated version won’t be bringing LTE support to Tegra 3. This has been one of the shortcomings of this chipset because of which hardware manufacturers such as HTC had to turn to Qualcomm for powering their phones in markets with LTE network.

According to the leaked roadmap that we saw before, LTE support on Tegra chipsets is not expected before 2013, that too not before the second half, which is when the Tegra 4 with LTE is expected to arrive.
