Support NeoGAF

[Fezan]

In what's becoming a yearly tradition, NVIDIA came to its CES press conference with tidings of its next-generation mobile processor which will begin gracing devices in 2014. The chipset maker officially announced Tegra K1, which features the first 192-core GPU based on the Kepler architecture which was originally designed for desktops and notebooks and later added to supercomputers. As you can imagine, NVIDIA is bringing its graphics chops to the new DirectX 11-powered GPU, and it packs a serious punch -- so much so, in fact, that it will come with support for Unreal Engine 4 and OpenGL 4.4. In the company's usual form, we were treated to demos of the new chip's power compared side-by-side with a Tegra 4, and the difference was quite noticeable; the K1 offers real-time computing, global illumination, higher dynamic range and greater detail like reflective surfaces, dripping water and other realistic physically-based rendering. Interestingly, Tegra K1 will actually come in two different versions: a 32-bit option with a 2.3GHz "4-plus-1" A15 CPU and a 64-bit unit with a 2.5GHz dual-core Denver CPU. Naturally we're a bit more curious about the latter at the moment, and we'll update you as we get more information about either chip -- such as availability.

uh?

It will support UE4?


Senseless marketing speak, I imagine.

edit: lol, it's early and didn't notice this is the new mobile chip.

I'm still waiting on desktop related news (other than G-Sync)

cough cough* -New G-card series

On another note, to bad the first consumer Oculus Rift wont support G-Sync.

Well. This mobile tech is going to make mobile gaming more of a thing.
That being said, this sounds amazing for a mobile chip.

Looks great, but it appears to be chugging just trying to render a detailed environment. It would struggle more once you add characters, AI, animation, etc. I'm not sure we're quite at the stage to say that the lines are blurring, but it's another great step forward.
