About NVIDIA
NVIDIA's latest and most advanced mobile processor Tegra™ K1, creates a major discontinuity in the state of mobile graphics by bringing the powerful NVIDIA Kepler GPU architecture to mobile, and delivering tremendous visual computing capabilities and breakthrough power efficiency. With two decades of GPU industry leadership, the NVIDIA Tegra K1 mobile processor delivers the performance demanded by next-generation PC- and console-class mobile games, modern user interfaces, advanced visual computing applications, and high-resolution 4K displays, while delivering exceptional power efficiency required to bring the above capabilities to mobile devices. This whitepaper describes the architecture and benefits of Tegra K1 and Kepler GPU. View PDF
Conventional wisdom, together with the massive amount of legacy investment by traditional modem vendors, dictates a fixed function approach to modem design. However the complexity of multi-mode, high-throughput cellular air-interfaces requires a revolution to lift us from convention. This revolution is brought about by the NVIDIA® Software Defined modem technology, the latest implementation of which is in the NVIDIA i500 and Tegra® 4i, discussed in this whitepaper. View PDF
The need for higher quality GPU subsystems in mobile devices and automotive infotainment systems will continue to grow as usage models rely increasingly on faster graphics processing capabilities. For the best user experiences, devices must provide highly responsive graphical user interfaces, fast Web browsing capability, visually rich 3D gaming, all while being able to drive higher resolution displays. The GPU subsystem within the NVIDIA® Tegra 4 family of processors is enabling all of the aforementioned visual computing capabilities in mobile devices, and is discussed in detail in this whitepaper.

See how this empowers application and game developers to deliver new mobile experiences, all while extending battery life for the most popular use cases. View PDF
The size and resolution of mobile device displays have rapidly increased over the last couple of years, and the growing popularity of tablets will further push the resolution and display sizes to be close to that of laptop PCs. This white paper looks at how current and future mobile devices will need GPUs that can not only handle the increased pixel processing loads, but also remain within mobile power budgets. View PDF
Desktop CPU manufacturers transitioned to multi-core processor architectures five years ago to address the growing performance demands and the exponential growth of power consumption of single-core processors. The CPUs of today use multiple cores to complete more work faster, and at lower power, than their single core predecessors. And mobile processors are facing the same performance and power challenges. This white paper explores how mobile devices will transition to multi-core CPUs to further increase performance and extend battery life. View PDF
