Nvidia has a superhero thing going on with its chips

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) future smartphones
Earlier this year, Nvidia shared its Tegra roadmap, indicating that its quad-core chips will be also be shipping in smartphones as early as the first part of 2012. Nicknamed "Kal-El," this system-on-a-chip is said to be five times faster than the Tegra 2 processor, which is used in many current top-of-the-line smartphones and tablets. Next in line is the "Wayne" series (yes, Nvidia has a superhero thing going on with its chips), which the company says will be 10 times faster than the Tegra 2, followed by the "Logan" (50 times faster!) and finally the "Stark" (75 times faster!). The Stark series is slated to be released in 2014, so you can expect to see smartphones become a lot more powerful in very little time.

nvidia的芯片目前运行的是“超级 (英雄)”软件(或:地图;导航软件)

由于提问者没有给出足够的上下文,因此难以断定原文中的“ thing”是指软件还是地图抑或导航软件。

Nidai 对其芯片寄有超级英雄式的厚望(期望)

It doesn't mean they are naming or nicknaming their core with reference to Superman.
It's an expression and means that they are thinking that they can make it into a big deal, like a super hero, (like John Wayne in this case)in many different device inventions--like a super star in many good movies.

agree jarv95888 : It's a little off the mark. I think you are right in this respect. They have references to Superman.

It might be tangential, but it is clearly the source of the underlying theme. “Wayne” is an unmistakable reference, and it happens that “Kal-El” is also one.
