K1 mobile devices promises to bring a capacity comparable to desktop machines, exceeding by far the power of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and getting closer to the new generation. In fact Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO, said “it would be inappropriate to call Tegra 5″ because it is not a linear evolutionary leap.
The Tegra K1 come in two versions. Nvidia will soon launch a model with a 4 +1 cores CPU based on the ARM Cortex-A15 at a frequency of 2.3 GHz A little later, in the second half of the year, will make his appearance the expected variation based on 64-bit dual-core “Denver” to 2.5 GHz, making this version of the first K1 chip CPU with a mobile manufactured by Nvidia itself.
These specifications allow the new processor deliver photorealistic graphics on mobile devices to the level of other Nvidia cards. The power of the new Tegra is sufficient to move the art graphics engine Unreal Engine 4 Epic, which, as its founder Tim Sweeney says, “We can take absolutely anything that runs on a PC or a high-end console and put on Tegra. did not think we were at this level in mobile until three or four years. “
Nvidia showed several demos at the show on the Epic engine, but as reports from The Verge, some games like Serious Sam 3 suffered slight framerate drops , which could be expected still unfinished prototype of the “superchip”. Similarly, Nvidia has said that the Tegra K1 consume just 5W, but have to wait to get out there to see if the promises are fulfilled.
