NVIDIA’s new Tegra K1 processor is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A15, 32-bit chip with 192 graphics cores. It’s the company’s most powerful mobile chip to date, and the first to feature the same Kepler graphics technology as NVIDIA’s desktop and notebook products.
We should start to see the first Tegra K1-powered devices this year… and eventually the company plans to offer a second model with 64-bit architecture.
More details about the 32-bit version are emerging this week — and we should see even more details soon. The company’s first developer board based on the K1 chip is now shipping to customers.
Here’s a roundup of tech news from around the web.
- NVIDIA Tegra K1 will likely use around 5-8W
There’ve been reports that NVIDIA’s new mobile chip could use a crazy amount of power, like up to 60 watts. But it turns out that even at top speed, it’s unlikely to consume more than 11W, and in most applications it’ll use closer to half that.
