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 .
