Nvidia has announced a lot of ground breaking stuff at CES 2015 but what did they reveal about the much anticipated GTX 980 ti and the 8GB models of the GTX 980 and 970?
Tony Finlay of Future Tech NOW has reported that Nvidia is going to put out a huge teaser for the GTX 980 ti and the 8GB models of the GTX 980 and 970 within the coming days of CES 2015. Their report also claims that Nvidia's tease for the new graphics cards are going to be good amidst reports of production delays for the GTX 980 ti.
Meanwhile, The CEO of Nvidia, Jen-Hsun Huang has announced a new addition to its Tegra chip family, the Tegra X1.
According to Jen-Hsun Huang, The Tegra X1 processor utilizes its most advanced PC architecture for graphics processing units, called Maxwell, that packs in a 256-core GPU on top of a 8-core central processing unit that, together, pumps out one whole teraflop of computational power.
According to Jen-Hsun Huang, the result is a "superchip" for smartphones that is both powerful and efficient enough to bring high level graphics to its handheld devices. TheTegra X1 follows Nvidia's process of transitioning PC tech to mobile like what they did last year by bringing Kepler to mobile devices such as Nvidia's Shield gaming handheld with the Tegra K1 chip.
As quoted by CNET, Huang said that:
"This little tiny thing here is a mobile super chip. We're able to run any application that relies on the architecture of Maxwell,"
