Ai Supercomputer with SoC 7 B transistors

Nvidia CEO JenHsun Huang has just announced a 2017 processor s codenamed Xaver to succeed Parker.

This is a 16 FinFET SoC with an 8 core custom ARM64 CPU and the next generation 512 Core Volta GPU. Nvidia hinted before that Volta would stick to 16nm manufacturing.

Nvidia plans that Xaver will replace the dual-core Drive PX and can do the same sorts of things with a fraction of power. It should work with a 20 W TDP envelope.

This new computer vision accelerated SoC will speed up self-driving and can process Dual 8K HDR video streams which will be pretty crucial for the future use planned for the chip.
