References to the latest X1 chip NVIDIA were found in the source code of Chrome OS Coreboot , triggering speculation that a Chromebook powered by the NVIDIA Tegra chip X1 is about to emerge . The chip, which has already been used in some devices, should help automakers in the manufacture of autonomous vehicles.

Patrick Georgi Google has made reference to commit Tegra T210 , which is NVIDIA's codename for the X1. The support has also been set up to map a known under the code name "Smaug", which is built around the X1 and Chromium OS. This addition seems to anticipate the release of a Chromebook that uses the Tegra X1, which would be a first for the line of computers running the operating system from Google. This would also be the first example of a Chrome based on a 64-bit ARM chip.
The ARM architecture has been found in previous models, but only in low cost devices, which sell at very low prices. If the Chromebook equipped with the Tegra chip X1 proves to be a success, it would not be too surprising to see ARM chips widely used across the range of Chromebook, and appearing in more expensive models.
And yet a Chromebook?
Launched in 2011, the Chromebook is an Internet-dependent device, which offers a lightweight alternative to conventional computers. Google's Chrome browser is used to be a major part of the OS, offering a responsive experience and well suited to web browsing, word processing and other basic functions.
Since its launch Chromebooks became popular, especially in the educational environment. The expansion of the range through initiatives such as the implementation of Tegra X1 seems to reaffirm that Google is willing to develop the interest of its Chromebooks.
