Nvidia's Denver is said to have 7. It's also rumored to have 2x the performance of Cortex A15. If it's true it could reach Sandy Bridge performance level either at first or 2nd gen (on FinFET 16nm) and Haswell/Broadwell level by 3rd gen (most people don't realize the performance between Haswell/Broadwell compared to Sandy Bridge is only like 15-20 percent, since Intel stopped focusing on performance). I also think in 2nd gen Denver SoC (2 process nodes from Tegra K1), Nvidia will have at least a 1 Tflops, possibly 1.2 Tflops GPU (Xbox One level).
- ChuckMcM 13y agoIt is interesting that in the 'chip wars' everyone went to Intel for their chips (or Motorola) and that allowed a lot of R&D to be re-couped. But as Apple is baking their own chips, what is the market for Nvidia's Denver? It has to compete with Broadcom, Samsung, and others for a fraction of the Android device pool? Challenging to justify the levels of R&D that Apple is applying without a predictable return. That said, I'm going to be watching for the Denver chip, it will be an interesting counter point to the A7.
- glasshead969 13y agoBy the time Denver based devices are on market, Apple will be releasing A8 based devices, so it will probably be competing with A8 rather than A7.
