Amazon.com Inc's decision to use a processor made by Texas Instruments Inc for its newest Kindle Fire tablets has surprised some investors and experts who thought Nvidia Inc's Tegra 3 chip would be tapped for the high-profile device.

At an event in Santa Monica, California on Thursday, Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos said TI's OMAP 4470 chip is being used in the new, higher-end Kindle Fire.

He showed reporters graphs suggesting the OMAP chip has better bandwidth and computing power than Nvidia's top mobile component.

"This is a huge surprise," said Evercore analyst Patrick Wang. "Most people assumed Tegra 3 would be the processor in the new device."
