Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was positively giddy as he showed off the company’s next-generation chips at one of the first events of CES 2018 (http://mashable.com/2018/01/08/nvidia-uber-self-driving-ces/).
The processor, called the Drive Xavier, is made to take on one of the most demanding use cases today self-driving cars. And as you’d expect, it’s leaps and bounds better than the previous generation of chips, ticking off plenty of “oh wow” boxes on the spec sheet: 9 billion transistors in an 8-core CPU, a new 512-core GPU, capable of 30 trillion operations per second while consuming just 30 watts.
But that wasn’t why Huang was so excited.*
Nvidia didn’t just build a powerful system on a chip, it made it compact. The company’s previous generation of self-driving chip tech, the Drive PX 2, was a chunky piece of hardware, weighing several pounds and roughly the size of a bulky laptop. By contrast, the Nvidia Drive Xavier is so light that Huang said he could "barely feel it" during his keynote. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2018/01/08/ces-2018-self-driving-cars/)
