Nvidia Tegra K1 is currently the most powerful mobile CPU on the planet. It gives the eye catching graphics performance of a console quality. Now after about 8 months of unveiling Tegra K1, Nvidia released the 64-Bit version of Tegra K1.
Tegra K1 64-Bit is the first mobile chipset for Android devices. It contains dual Denver CPUs which will run on slightly faster clock rate the 32-Bit version. 64 Bit is clocked at 2.5 GHz while 32-Bit K1 is clocked at 2.3 GHz. Denver CPU has 7-way Superscalar micro-architecture, So 7 concurrent micro-operations can be performed per clock. Both of these processors are pin compatible. So it will result in faster releases and ease of implementation.
It has 192-core Kepler architecture-based GPU which promises to give best possible graphics till now. There’s a 128KB 4-way L1 instruction cache, a 64KB 4-way L1 data cache, and a 2MB 16-way L2 cache.
According to Nvidia blog post the 64-Bit Tegra K1 will be featured in an “Amazing” device soon. And HTC made 8.9″ Nexus tablet could be that device which is coming in November this year.
Nvidia Tegra K1 32-Bit performance is already well known. Even it topped the benchmark charts on its first benchmark test. So 64-Bit version of it would surely be more powerful and will bring more possibilities. Like now more than 3 GB RAM will be supported on Android devices. What do you think about this first 64-Bit processor?
