When NVIDIA first unveiled its Tegra K1 processor in January 2014, it said that it actually had two models in the works: a 32-bit version that we’re already starting to see in some devices and a 64-bit variant that’s based on the ARMv* architecture and codenamed “Denver.”
Today NVIDIA spilled the beans on the latter of the two K1s, telling us more about how the 64-bit model operates. The Denver model utilizes a dual-core CPU and is touted as being able to outpace any other ARM-based processor.
NVIDIA also says that the the 64-bit Tegra K1 is the first 64-bit processor for Android. In fact, the chip maker is already developing Android L with the new 64-bit Tegra K1, which gives us one more reason to look forward to the public launch of Android L later this year.
