nVidia has announced today that Kyocera has chosen its GoForce 4000 handheld graphics processing unit (GPU) for its new CDMA EVDO phone, the W41K. Kyocera is one of Japan’s fastest growing suppliers of 3G mobile phones.

The W41K is another trend-setting design from Kyocera that aligns very well with its strategy to deliver high-performance multimedia features to the world’s most exciting and sought after 3G devices.

nVidia’s GoForce 4000 GPU delivers high-quality multimedia features at relatively low power levels.

The W41K combines a sleek and stylish design with a host of impressive multimedia features including a 3.17-Megapixel camera, QVGA resolution main display with up to 262K colours, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) sub display.

The GoForce 4000 GPU provides hardware acceleration for fluid 15fps camera preview, full-resolution JPEG compression and decompression, 2D graphics, and display controller support for both of the system’s displays.

A key component of the GoForce 4000 GPU is nVidia’s nPower technology, a combination of architecture and design methodologies that delivers advanced power saving techniques and dedicated algorithms for great features and performance with minimal battery drain, claims nVidia.

The Kyocera W41K went on sale in Japan in early March and is available on the AU/KDDI network. nVidia GoForce handheld GPUs can also be found in mobile phones and handheld devices from Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG, Mitsubishi, Mitac, DBTEL, and more.
