Fake Test Result: NVIDIA sued by Samsung for patent infringement

Finally, Samsung sued NVIDIA for the infringing on its patents and providing false benchmark figures publicly. According to the Samsung, NVIDIA has published fake news of Shield Tablet comparing with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Moreover, Samsung sued for the usage of six Samsung patents without licensing.

NVIDIA has tried some illegal efforts that Shield Tablet’s Tegra K1 processor does really good than the Samsung Exynos 5433 process. At the same time, this brand has used some of the Samsung smartphones as the test that shows the wrong result.

Samsung also claims that Velocity Micro, a PC manufacturer company has infringed on two patents and uses NVIDI’s graphic card too! At the same time, NVIDIA shows negative answer to the statement of Samsung and reported, the processor of Shield Tablet shows better performance than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

However, the chip marker tested both of the processor that shows the news was wrong. You also heard about the propping up the benchmark test results of the performance of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 last year’s October.

Apple iPad Air 2 GPU Outclasses Tegra K1’s GPU

It seems that someone tested the the Apple iPad Air 2 using GFXBench’s 2.7 T-Rex and 3.0 Manhattan’s 1080p onscreen as well as the 3.0 Manhattan’s 1080p offscreen platform. The resulting framerates are surprising to say the least.

The Apple iPad Air 2 looked did better than good in these tests. It even went against the amazingly dominant Tegra K1 chip and other GPUs.

The Tegra K1 with its Kelper GPU was regarded as the most dominant graphics system in the whole Android market. For it to be outdone by the Apple iPad Air 2’s GPU is just unheard of. This is great news for Apple consumers. I have to tell you, I was not expecting this at all. Take a look at these numbers:

The onscreen tests resulted in lower frame rates, which is due to the 1080p local resolution of the iPad Air 2. Still, it managed to beat Xiaomi Mi Pad 7.9 which has the same 1080p local resolution and Tegra K1 inside.

It seems that even though Android products take a lead over Apple products in certain areas. Apple products have earned their place in the market due to the overall value of their products, and of course due to the strong brand recognition that Apple controversially enjoys.

We are excited for the 64-bit Tegra K1 chips and see their performance in the future. How much better will the 64-bit Tegra K1 be than the 32-bit version in the Nvidia Shield Tablet and Mi Pad 7.9. In the mean while, Apple’s dominance continues.

HTC Nexus 9 likely to be released later this month confirms NVIDIA

The next Google Nexus tablet i.e. the Nexus 9 built by HTC is mostly on its way as a recent filing confirms that the HTC Nexus 9 is certainly a realy deal and could be released as soon as later this month. This information has recently arrived from NVIDIA’s legal filings that are associated to the legal battle of the company against Samsung and Qualcomm over some of the GPU technology patents.

This section highlights more from the marketing perspective talking more about the Tegra K1 SoC and mentions about how the chip is  “so powerful it is being used in products other than smartphones and tablets” just like TVs, Chromebooks and Project Tango tablet which is associated with tracking and mapping of 3D environments. Later in the same section, NVIDIA mentions “HTC Nexus 9, expected in the third quarter of 2014″.

With September being the last month of Q3, we expect the device to go official in coming days soon! Just a recap, the HTC Nexus 9 will feature a 8.9inch display having 2560×1600 pixel resolution with a Tegra K1 64-bit processor tipped on-board.

Nexus 9 likely to host a 64-bit Tegra K1 chipset confirms CPU-Z

The 8.9” inch Nexus tablet that is likely to arrive this year as a joint product of HTC and Google and the device is staying these quite in rumors with the name of Nexus 9. The latest reports coming from the hardware accessing app CPU-Z show that the upcoming Nexus 9 with host a NVIDIA Tegra K1 64-bit chipset. We have earlier also speculated that the HTC made Nexus tablet will be having a Nvidia Tegra K1 Chipset and now the rumors seem to be quite strong enough as the release date is approaching closer.

The Tegra K1 chipset baked in the upcoming Nexus 9 will be clocked sufficiently higher at 2.5GHz which is above the 2.2GHz non 64 bit Tegra K1 chipset. According to NVIDIA, this chipset is nearly 1.5 times more powerful and efficient and that to with optimum utilization of battery life despite delivering this immense power. The Tegra K1 chipset has a 192 core GPU with a desktop-grade Kepler architecture and Nvidia’s Cuda cores. The Nexus 9 tablet is supposed to host a 8.9” display with 4:3 aspect ratio, 1440×2048 pixel resolution, 8MP of primary camera and the latest launched Android L OS from Google on-board.

Nvidia"s Tegra K1 64-bit Version Launched

Since the 32-bit Tegra K1 mobile processor has been released it has been unrivaled in the SoC hardware market. It easily beats every other ARM SoC in terms of GPU performance and thats why it stands out from the rest.

The Nvidia 64-bit Tegra K1 system-on-a-chip is expected to be the the first 64-bit SoC from Nvidia which will have Android running on it.

We are getting more and more information about the architecture of the 64-bit Tegra K1 SoC chip. The 64-bit Tegra K1 has dual custom Denver CPU cores. It can run faster than the 32-bit Tegra K1. Apparently the 32-bit and 64-bit  versions are both pin compatible and should allow for an easier implementation of the chips.

It has a 7-way Superscalar microarchitecture. It can run 7 micro operations per clock cycle. This allows it to process fast and efficiently.

 

The Tegra K1 is innovative in that its the first 64-bit ARM processor for Android in the World. Its not just the hardware side of things that have grabbed our attention. The new and innovative “Dynamic Code Optimization” technology optimizes software routines that are frequently used. During runtime, the 64-bit Tegra K1 turns them into highly tuned microcode-equivalent routines. In other words, the instruction-level parallelism (ILP) found in the code is extracted only once and then used many times without being extracted again and again.

This chip is said to be able to provide the GPU processing power equivalent to that of consoles like the Playstation 3 and XBOX 360. The first device that is rumored to get this amazing SoC is the 8.9 inch Nexus tablet, HTC Volantis.

Smartphones Might have NVIDIA Tegra K1 Soon

The NVIDIA Tegra K1 is a high caliber processor of a chip, but the idea of applying it to smartphones was perceived as unfeasible. At present this powerful processor is allotted for tablets, but most probably it can hop into smartphones in the near future.

 

In a recent announcement, Jen-Hsun acquainted that the company’s priority would be to  emphasize on powering up the tablets instead of striving for the smartphone market. Though, Tegra K1 and Tegra K1 Denver chips might be used for some specific smartphones.

Biggest issue to ingrain these powerful tech into smartphone is the cost. If these mobile devices are subjected to use these processors, it has to inculcate Icera 500 modem for LTE with 3G connectivity which ultimately implies a higher cost of production and hence spending more money. All these incur a low profit to the manufacturers. Upscaled mobile can definitely use K1.  NVIDIA is focusing more on tablets but it is also trying its hand on some next phone where you might find their chips inserted.

Who will mind getting a revved up processor, which equalizes you PC gaming system and high end graphics in the mobile device itself. This certainly means you can encounter more enticing experiences.

Tegra K1 has the same structure as NVDIA Kepler architecture that operates the fastest supercomputers in the United States. Capable of providing leading computer applications, it is a tempting device for game developers as well. Renovating and redefining the tech world crossing your horizon of imagination, this processor brings the whole PC world into a compact and powerful mobile device.

Now its your choice to opt for the Tegra K1 integrated mobile device or to go for the tablet.The array of functions it can deliver with a matched costing is worth giving a try.
