NVIDIA has introduced a 64-bit processor Tegra K1 with two cores Denver

NVIDIA has introduced a new processor Tegra K1 back in January, Habré was relevant publication . It was then known about the 32-bit quad-core Cortex-A15 processor. Discussed and that will be released on 64-bit processor with two cores from Denver proprietary NVIDIA.

Yesterday the company blog appeared more information a > a second variant of the chip, we can say the official presentation of this processor.

Unfortunately, the exact timing of the appearance of the chip are not called, but the characteristics of the processor is still presented. So, the 64-bit version of Tegra K-1 "sharpened" under work with the new OS Android L (the developers claim that the performance of the two-core processor Tegra K-1 is higher than that of "mobile" four and eight cores). At the same time, both versions of the processor are compatible pads, so motherboards do not require alteration.



Tegra K-1 Denver meant primarily for use with "heavy" applications, including toys, as well as not less than "severe" media content.

As for the two nuclei Denver, then they added a 192 core CUDA graphics Kepler, which allows for one step process seven instructions, and save often used portions of code in 128 MB buffer. This process is called Dynamic Code Optimization. Each of the two cores includes 128KB 4-way L1 instruction cache, 64KB 4-way L1 data cache, and 2 MB 16-way L2 cache.



According to the developers, 64-bit processors are very energy efficient chips operate using dynamic change both frequency and voltage. The developers also claim that such processors are comparable in performance with Apple A7 or Celeron 2955U / Haswell.

Devices based on the 64-bit Tegra K1 will be released later this year, however, the release date of such devices and their description is not granted.
