Nvidia unveiled the Tegra X1, its latest mobile processor, at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2015 in Las Vegas. The Tegra X1 is based on the Nvidia Maxwell architecture and is the successor to the Tegra K1 chip. It has 8 CPU cores, which includes four ARM Cortex-A57 CPU cores and four ARM Cortex-A53 cores. It also boasts 256-core Maxwell GPU, which promises better GPU performance than the Tegra K1 at the similar power of less than 10 watts.
The Tegra X1 can stream 4K video at 60Hz, and is the first ever mobile chip to exceed 1 teraflop of output. The Tegra X1 supports all the latest graphics standards, including DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, CUDA®, OpenGL ES 3.1 and the Android Extension Pack.
