NVIDIA may be in the hearts and minds of gamers these days, with the successful launch of the company’s new Pascal-based GeForce 10 series graphics cards, but at their GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in Amsterdam today the company just gave the autonomous vehicle industry a reason to sit up and take notice as well. NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang unveiled what he called the “greatest SoC endeavor he has ever known.” Announcing the company’s new Xavier System On Chip (SoC), Huang showcased what the company claims to be an “AI Supercomputer” for the future or autonomous vehicles. Built with an 8-core ARM64-based CPU and a next generation 512 core NVIDIA GPU, Xavier is targeted to supplant the company’s current Drive PX 2 platform in about a quarter of its power envelope.
