#Nvidia Unveils Tegrax1 Soc Drive CX And Drive PX Nvidia has unveiled a chip that can pump out the quality of a high gaming console on your smartphones. Additionally, the famous graphics card manufacturer also released demos of two computing platforms, Drive CX and Drive PX, for cars. The smartphone chip, Nvidia Tegra X1 Soc has an 8-core 64-bit CPU and a 256ore Maxwell-based GPU. Nvidia claims that it is the first mobile chip that will provide a teraflop of processing power. They also added that it is equivalent to the fastest supercomputer in the world in 2000. The Tegra X1 is also much more efficient than the Tegra K1. Nvidia showed a demo of the Unreal Engine Elemental sequence to display the power and efficiency of the Tegra X1. Jen-Hsun Huang, cofounder of Nvidia, said, ast year, when next generation game consoles were released, they consumed 100 watts when running Unreal Engine Elemental demo. Now we can do it on Tegra X1 at 10 watts. Nvidia believes that the first beneficiaries of the Soc will be cars. The Nvidia Drive CX is based on a single Tegra X1 platform whereas the Driver PX is based on the dual Tegra X1s. Nvidia Drive CX will act as the digital cockpit computer, and it will be the lifeline of a car infotainment system. It will also be able to power four full-HD screens simultaneously or even two 4k screens. Drive CX will also be able to recognize speech and faces of it users. Meanwhile, Drive PX is an image processing platform and it will have the capability to work with inputs from up to 12 cameras. All these cameras will work in tandem and provide improved accuracy in the autopilot function of the car. Nvidia also released a recording of a demo drive of a car with Drive PX that was able to find a space in a parking garage traveling at a speed of 8 km h. With these two platforms Nvidia hopes to revolutionize the dashboard and give a boost to the concept of driverless cars s
