NVIDIA's Tegra X1 is the first mobile chip with a teraflop of power

How powerful can a mobile processor get? Try a teraflop worth of raw computing muscle. NVIDIA just announced the Tegra X1 "mobile super chip" - and yah, it's sort of fast. The X1 is the first mobile chip to achieve a teraflop of computing power, co-founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said on stage at NVIDIA's CES press conference tonight. That makes it just as fast as the world's fastest supercomputer in 2000. It's basically the same Maxwell GPU architecture for PCs, which the company announced several months ago, brought to mobile. Tegra X1 packs in an eight-core CPU, 256 GPU cores, and altogether it should deliver around twice the performance of last year's Tegra K1 mobile chip.

Developing.
