NVIDIA will issue 64bit ARM processor in the world for the first time next year
Now that NVIDIA Tegra is the theme CES might as well more about some: last week HuangRenXun CEO said in an interview, NVIDIA Tegra of integrated LTE MODEM (namely the previously mentioned codenamed “Grey” products) and as the world’s first 64 bit the ARM processor “Project Denver” will be in 2013 years formal shipment, in addition HuangRenXun also mentioned about Windows 8 topic.
For Intel and MOTOROLA mobile signed on the mobile phone Medfield cooperation agreement, HuangRenXun comment says he is most important to competition, now processor x86 / ARM two camps to the entire market of the battles of the benign development. And the ARM faction in the smartphone advantage in temporarily unable to shake, developers also tend to make the application of product optimization ARM. Smart phone market in addition to x86 march of the application of the compatibility and how to attract software developers the problem.
But in Windows 8 on ARM camp would have the same die hole exists: Windows of general application can’t in the ARM Win32 version running on Windows 8, this ARM faction and Intel in the experience of Android (using the virtual machine, at least 50% not involved with the hardware) is different, only from scratch.
At the end of last year HuangRenXun reiterated his view on AsiaD congress, although Microsoft has no talk about ARM version of Office, but he thought this ARM faction is absolutely necessary.
As for last year’s debut in CES “Project Denver,” said HuangRenXun to clear some news show that NVIDIA will not develop their own x86 core, Denver will develop extensive cooperation and ARM and ARMv8 architecture and compatible. NVIDIA has hundreds of people at present the team of engineers and common development ARMv8 ARM frame and the 64 bit instruction set, etc.
HuangRenXun says, NVIDIA and ARM the cooperation program is long-term, formal shipment next year Project Denver will become the world’s first 64 bit ARM architecture processors, face from HPC, server to the next generation notebook, tablet PC market widely.
