Nvidia Announces 192-Core Tegra K1 Chips, Bets On Android

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-it-while-it's-hot dept.

sfcrazy writes "Nvidia just announced Tegra K1, its first 192-core processor. NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang made the announcement at CES 2014. He also said that Android will be the most important platform for gaming consoles. 'Why wouldn't you want to be open, connected to your TV and have access to your photos, music, gaming. It's just a matter of time before Android disrupts game consoles,' said Huang." Nvidia's marketing department created a crop circle to promote the chip after CEO Jen Hsun Huang declared that it was so advanced that "it's practically built by aliens."

    The Android app developers have figured it out - the console developers have yet to catch up. Nobody wants to spend $300 dollars on a console that ties up your $500 TV while your using it and buy a few $60 games on top of it, when you can just download a game on your phone that you already have and spend $4 on it.

    I suppose that adds a cool, hip, sci-fi spin to the fact that we farmed out development to an outsourcing shop somewhere in ethniclashistan to save money...
