Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang took the stage at CES tonight to unveil its new mobile chip, the Tegra X1. With 256 processor cores and eight CPU cores, Huang touts it as the first mobile "superchip."

The X1 is the successor to last year's K1 processor, and is built atop the Maxwell architecture, which is both fast and energy-efficient. Despite tepid applause, Huang said he was most excited about what the chip can do, saying that there's nothing like it in the world. The X1 can handle 4K video at 60Hz, and is the first mobile chip to exceed 1 teraflop of throughput. The first supercomputer to exceed a teraflop did so in 2000, and needed more than 1 million watts to pull it off.

The X1 is powerful, and Huang demonstrated as much by showing off a real-time demo of Unreal Tournament. However, the chips strengths are being channeled into cars. In the near term, the chip will power the new Drive CX "digital cockpit computer," a fully-functioning infotainment system that could power an array of screens inside your car that monitor speed, temperature, and entertainment. Two X1s will power the Drive PX auto-pilot system that's great for parking.

Now just to provide decent software support for all of that outside the mobile gaming. Nvidia is known to have shitty support for their SoCs in the embedded world.

Seems like a bit of a waste of its potential there. Laughing

It does look pretty spectacular, if it works as promoted.


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Hmmm ^^ yeah why is this Groundbreaking for the Planet to know compared to other events which shape civilization? Own Nvidia stock maybe? Razz Nah I prefer them over AMD myself but yeah X1 looks even better than K1 was (which was impressive for what it was) but I'm not wee sure it belongs here and should be moved to Hardware News since this was a big development at CES today!
