It’s a GPU meant for content creation with 3,840 CUDA cores, 24GB of GDDR5X memory (VRAM) that runs at 9Gbps, up to 432Gbps memory bandwidth, four DisplayPort 1.4 slots that can support up to 4K resolutions at 120Hz and 5K at 60Hz, as well as 12 teraflops performance.

NVIDIA brings PC gaming capabilities to mobile

The next-generation of NVIDIA mobile processors are going to be gamers’ dream come true. The new Tegra K1 has a Kepler architecture-based 192-core GPU, which is the same architecture used by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (considered the fastest GPU in the world). The company boldly claims the GPU on the Tegra K1 is more powerful than the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360.

The demo of NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang showed the Tegra K1 running Unreal 4 without glitch. The new game is said to require extreme CPU power that is enough to hang an underpowered system. There will be two versions of the processor: one 32-bit quad-core, 4-Plus-1 ARM Cortex A15 CPU available in the first half of 2014 and 64-bit dual Super Core CPU based on ARMv8 architecture and carries the codename Denver. The 64-bit version will be available at the second half of the year.
