NVIDIA has shown off a new graphics chip that it says would put the processing power of a games console into a smartphone, and is actually faster than the current Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 games consoles.
The K1 mobile processor is a 192-core super chip featuring the same Kepler architecture that powers the fastest GPU on the planet, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti.
"Over the past two decades, NVIDIA invented the GPU and has developed more graphics technologies than any other company," said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO, NVIDIA. "With Tegra K1, we're bringing that heritage to mobile. It bridges the gap for developers, who can now build next-gen games and apps that will run on any device."
Tegra K1 is offered in two pin-to-pin compatible versions. The first version uses a 32-bit quad-core, 4-Plus-1 ARM Cortex A15 CPU. The second version uses a custom, NVIDIA-designed 64-bit dual Super Core CPU. This CPU (codenamed "Denver") is based on the ARMv8 architecture, which brings the energy-efficient heritage of ARM processor technology to 64-bit computing.
