Last year, NVIDIA has introduced a mobile processor with 192 graphics cores Kepler ( Tegra K1 ). This year at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the company accelerates the race to the number of cores with X1 Tegra chip .

This is again a 64-bit chip which has the distinction of taking eight cores, four Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 four, coupled to a Maxwell graphics chip with 256 cores. For fans, know that it is the same graphics technology used in graphics cards from NVIDIA (GTX 980 and GTX 970) reserved for PCs, and introduced in 2014.
NVIDIA says that the processor can handle video playback 4K streams at 60Hz they are encoded in H.265 or VP9 and offers support to the same game engine as fleas desktop. It is twice more efficient than the K1 NVIDIA Tegra processor, launched last year, equivalent to consumption (watt).
Until now, the chip was known under the code name Arista.
NVIDIA announces two platforms for cars
"We believe that the future car will pick up a huge amount of computing power," says NVIDIA at his press conference. Future cars will have "more computing power than all you have today" . In the imaginary world of NVIDIA, your next car will be a lot of screens. "We imagine these screens to replace many of the current capabilities of your car. For example, your mirror could become a smart screen " , says the firm.
Among the listed devices, thus positions NVIDIA Tegra X1 as a processor dedicated to embedded systems in vehicles with multiple displays (for entertainment, navigation and various vehicle information) through a new system on board the car named NVIDIA Drive CX. This little box includes X1 Tegra chip and the software that allows car manufacturers to customize their own solutions.
NVIDIA is also launching a more powerful system called the Drive PX has two chips Tegra X1 that can operate in parallel or redundant processors.
Drive The PX is designed for autonomous cars or vehicles with advanced driver assistance technology. The system can support up to 12 HD cameras and can process 1.3 billion pixels per second to create a model of the environment around the car so that your vehicle knows where it is based on other objects so it can trace a safer driving path.
As I mentioned recently, the landscape of the car should change greatly in 2015 ...
