The [[Nvidia]] '''GoForce''' was a line of chipsets that was used mainly in handheld devices such as [[Personal digital assistant|PDAs]] and [[mobile phone]]s. Nvidia acquired graphics display processor firm MediaQ in 2003,<ref>{{cite web |title=NVIDIA ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF MEDIAQ |url=https://hexus.net/tech/items/industry/2348-nvidia-announces-acquisition-of-mediaq/ |website=HEXUS |date=27 September 2005 |access-date=14 September 2019}}</ref> and rebranded the division as GoForce. It has since been replaced by the [[Nvidia Tegra]] series of [[system-on-a-chip|SoC]]s.

==Features==
=== GoForce 2100 ===
Featuring VGA image capture, 2D graphics acceleration, [[JPEG]] support, and [[MJPEG]] acceleration. Used in the Samsung SCH-M500 [[Palm OS]] based flip-phone.<ref>{{cite web |title=NVIDIA GOFORCE 2100 SELECTED FOR PICTURE PERFECT SAMSUNG CAMERA PHONE |url=https://hexus.net/tech/items/graphics/2699-nvidia-goforce-2100-selected-for-picture-perfect-samsung-camera-phone/ |website=HEXUS |date=27 September 2005 |access-date=13 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Samsung and NVIDIA Join Forces, New Handset in the Works |url=https://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/samsung-and-nvidia-join-forces-new-handset-in-the-works-3568307.html |website=Tech2 |access-date=13 May 2020 |date=28 July 2009}}</ref>

===GoForce 2150===
Featuring 1.3-megapixel camera support, [[JPEG]] support, and 2D graphics acceleration.
Supports 3-megapixel images with the upgrade.

===GoForce 3000/GoForce 4000===
The GoForce 4000 supports 3.0-megapixel camera and [[MPEG-4]]/[[H.263]] codec, whilst GoForce 3000 is a low-cost version of the GoForce 4000 with limited features.

===GoForce 4500===
Features 3D graphics support with a geometry processor and programmable pixel shaders, used in the [[Gizmondo]] device.

===GoForce 4800===
Supports 3.0-megapixel camera and a 3D graphics engine.

===GoForce 5500===
The '''GoForce''' 5500 is a multimedia processor, incorporates [[Tensilica]] Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine<ref>[http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20060627005041/en/NVIDIA-GoForce-5500-Employs-Tensilicas-Xtensa-HiFi#.U3JSF3fLL-Q NVIDIA GoForce 5500 Employs Tensilica's Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine for High-Quality Audio in Mobile Phones]</ref> (based on the Xtensa LX processor licensed in 2005<ref>[http://ip.cadence.com/news/116/330/Tensilica-s-Xtensa-LX-Processor-Licensed-by-NVIDIA.htm Tensilica's Xtensa LX Processor Licensed by NVIDIA]</ref><ref>[http://www.design-reuse.com/news/9477/tensilica-xtensa-lx-processor-licensed-nvidia.html Tensilica's Xtensa LX Processor Licensed by NVIDIA]</ref><ref>[http://ip.cadence.com/uploads/101/HiFi_2_product_brief-pdf HiFi 2 & HiFi EP Audio/Voice DSP Product Brief]</ref><ref>[http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20051006005368/en/Tensilicas-Xtensa-HiFi-2-Audio-Engine-Low-Power#.U3JVrXfLL-Q Tensilica's Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine Provides Low-Power, Turnkey 24-bit Audio for SOC Designs; 2nd Generation Audio Engine Supports All Popular Audio Standards]</ref>). It can decode video and audio formats, such as WMV, WMA, MP3, MP4, MPEG, JPEG and supports [[H.264]]. Also including a 24-bit 64-voice sound processor with supports up to 32 MB of external memory, 10-megapixel camera support, and 3D graphics engine version 2.

===GoForce 5300===
Equipped with 2.25 [[MiB]] embedded DRAM ([[eDRAM]]) on TSMC's [[65 nm]] process,<ref name="beyond3d_1">[http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showpost.php?p=942884&postcount=11 Beyond3D Forum thread - response from official NVIDIA PR]</ref> being the first in the GoForce product line. Its multimedia technology is claimed to be similar to the 5500's, but it does not sport a 3D engine and only supports much smaller screens.

===GoForce 6100===
The latest chipset in the series, the GoForce 6100 (showcased in 2007), claiming the first applications processor by NVIDIA,<ref name="beyond3d_1"/> adds 10-megapixel camera support and integrated 802.11b/g support (with external RF), based on a [[130 nm]] process.<ref name="beyond3d_1" /> It contains a 250 MHz ARM1176JZ-S core.<ref name="goforce6100-info">[http://www.nvidia.com/page/goforce_6100.html GoForce 6100]</ref><ref name="zdnet-goforce6100">{{cite web | url=https://www.zdnet.de/39151722/3gsm-nvidia-zeigt-goforce-6100-grafikchip/ | title=3GSM: Nvidia zeigt Goforce-6100-Grafikchip | date=13 February 2007 }}</ref>
