Oh, this will be like Ultra Green Version when it comes to mobile. performance will be like 10% of the actual Desktop. The battery will be the bottleneck for it.
If you tested a desktop High performance compare to same Green Version, you get 60% only. Laptop on battery gets only 35% performance than plugged. Test it yourself to see.

      With Qualcomm chips high raising on the past many years, it has make nVidia really an underdog in mobile chipsets.

      Let's hope nVidia new Tegra X1 doesn't plugged with many troubles and bugs. Also hope it doesn't need a 6000mah battery for phones like Samsung S7 or Note5.

                  I'm absolutely stunned at the performance of this chip, I've been in the mobile business for 9 years now and seeing a GPU release for a mobile platform that is so close to desktop architecture is mind blowing!

In reality this would burn a tablet to cinders, too powerful if those specs are correct.

                              Memory bandwidth of 25.6MB/s, still not much compared to my MSI gaming laptop which has a memory bandwidth of 25.6GB/s, SUCH A LONG WAY TO GO WITH THESE MOBILE CHIPS.

                                  Now that's just GREAT! I'm just kinda wondering how this new CPU fares when it comes to POWER EFFICIENCY, it has never been mentioned in this article.

                                      Anonymous, 05 Jan 2015Let's see if they can put that in a 8 inch tablet with 128g... moreCool! I would buy it except for the resolution part. For me 1200p is good enough. 2K (1440p) is the most I would like to go on a mobile device any more than that is a waste IMO.

                                        Ok this is so much power for a mobile processor but how the battery life gonna be? if it wasnt for battery life we could have a broadwell cpu with GTX 980 in our mobile phones! if with this much power they still somehow manage to make this a 2-3 watt chip then this will surely be a beast nothing else can match for a long long time.
