Nvidia says Tegra Erista mobile chip coming in 2015

Nvidia chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang announced that its next-generation Tegra mobile processor, Erista, will hit the market in 2015.

The chip is a follow-on to the 192-core Tegra K1, which Nvidia unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Erista will have better performance than the Tegra K1, but Huang didn’t say how much better. Still, the fact that the company plans to deliver that chip shows that it is sticking to its regular cadence of introducing new mobile processors, which are beginning to push the high end of computing.
