Impressive results! Nvidia continues to push the envelope for mobile tech

Twice as efficient than the Tegra K1

Sadly, we won't be seeing any other devices using the X1 other than Xiaomi phones and the next Shield as OEM's would probably go with the K1 for lower price productions and due to Nvidia's high prices.

Pretty interesting and I like mobile games. The problem is developers don't often program for these high end devices. I don't think there is a mobile game out there that uses K1's power. Would love to see a console made with this along with developers who would use the power.

Yep, it's an issue on why not a lot of devs weren't able to take full advantage of the K1 for low consumer rate other than niche gamers that bought an Nvidia Shield and have a deal with Valve Corp. To port in their games for the device.

You acutally think we will finally see a Tegra chip in a smartphone ? I hope X1 gets used, its a beast of a chip, but I see it just going into tablets ..

::yawn::

Tegra has yet to "push the envelope." They've been mid to low tier ever since their first mobile chip. been getting spanked by "lesser chips" every year.

wake me up when tegra actually lives up to its own hype
