Along with the announcement of the Pascal GPU architecture,Nvidia announced details about the next generation Tegra mobile processor codenamed Tegra Erista .If you are into comics , Erista is the Son of Logan , And Logan in Nvidia's case is the codename for Nvidia Tegra K1 ,The K1 was the first Tegra chip to feature the 192 Kepler GPU cores and was designed using the 64Bit ARMV8 architecture .Erista on the other hand also uses the ARMV8 64Bit design , but the Erista uses Nvidia's Maxwell GPU , the Maxwell GPU cores were announced in 2013 , but now it seems the GPU technology has shifted to mobile use . The Tegra Erista will support DirectX 12 and will also support Unreal Engine 4 for mobile . The chipset is due for launch in 2015 (hopefully at CES next January),The Tegra K1 is scheduled for launch in Q2 of this year .Audi , which has been using Tegra mobile processors since the Tegra 3 is now said to use the next gen processors Nvidia including the current K1 to power the Audi-connect onboard computer systems and self driving cars of the future .With Nvidia returning with even more CPU and GPU power,the mobile CPU race will surely heat up and hopefully it might bring some competition to the otherwise Qualcomm dominated mobile cpu space .
