  Huh, 8 core CPU, I wonder if they are using ARM's big-little implementation, probably with cortex 5x cores?

• jjj - Sunday, January 4, 2015 - link

  They mentioned 2 clusters or something like that, don't remember the precise wording but it's clear it's bigLITTLE and that blows, wanted quad Denver.

  maybe there are different iterations of tegra this time. 10W sample board looks scary, but in hpc though ...

  we'll see but no hint so far ,they keep talking about cars.

• kron123456789 - Monday, January 5, 2015 - link

  I hope they'll show something mobile, not just hpcs for cars.

  I do wonder what the future of Denver holds then... hopefully they will keep on iterating on it.

  Specs from the press release
  Tegra X1's technical specifications include:
  256-core Maxwell GPU
  8 CPU cores (4x ARM Cortex A57 + 4x ARM Cortex A53)
  60 fps 4K video (H.265, H.264, VP9)
  1.3 gigapixel of camera throughput
  20nm process

  Oooh, good to see that 20nm process showing up.... Now I wonder what the transistor count is, maybe ~1.5B?

• jjj - Sunday, January 4, 2015 - link

  we should see 16nm in devices this year (Huawei had Q3 on their roadmap) so if this 20nm doesn't get in actual devices very fast ....

  Frankly I am disappointed... no Maxwell news, nothing about GM200...

• kron123456789 - Monday, January 5, 2015 - link

  CES ain't over yet))

• vred - Monday, January 5, 2015 - link

  but... but... I wanted everything now... :D

  Yeah - All I really ever care about from NVidia is what they have for a new flagship video card.

  meh

  the deep learning is super-exciting
  
  but a blow-by-blow tracking of where you are and what's around - sent to a cloud; privacy is my immediate concern here
  
  Ryan has anyone fielded a similar question to Nvidia?

• Ryan Smith - Monday, January 5, 2015 - link

  The talk so far about sending data back has been about neural net identification failures. Position data has not been discussed (and should not be necessary to train the neural nets). However this is still all very high concept; vehicles with this technology are years off, which leaves a lot of time for change.

• at80eighty - Monday, January 5, 2015 - link

  Ah, thanks Ryan. Given all they were analysing, I figured it was a data subset being covered.

  "11:45PM EST - Neural network tech is still fairly new, but its getting better"
  I got a job at JPL in 1986 to work on Neural-Network-specific massively parallel hardware.
  Is 29 year old technology "new" ?
  
  "Neural networks in a nutshell: throw a ton of data at a network and let it figure out how to organize it to recognize it in the future"
  Same nutshell as in 1986. Not new.
