Surprised we don't have a thread on this yet. Looks like a decent improvement over K1 . . . but weren't the only K1 based devices the Nexus 9 and Nvidia's own Shield tablets? 20nm part though.
This brings us to Tegra X1, NVIDIA’s latest SoC which was announced today at CES. While largely a continuation of the strategy begun with Tegra K1, there’s still a lot of ground to cover. One of the bigger surprises is the CPU configuration. While Tegra K1 had a version with NVIDIA’s custom Denver core for the CPU, NVIDIA has elected to use ARM’s Cortex A57 and A53 in the Tegra X1. The A57 CPU cluster has 2MB of L2 cache shared across the four cores, with 48KB/32KB L1s (I$+D$) per core. The A53 cluster has 512KB of L2 cache shared by all four cores and 32KB/32KB L1s (I$+D$) per core. NVIDIA representatives stated that this was done for time to market reasons.
