Jetson TX1: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
NVIDIA started Jetson TX1 sales 4 January 2015. This is a laptop graphics card based on a Maxwell 2.0 architecture and made with 20 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. 4 GB of LPDDR4 memory clocked at 0.6 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 9.6 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a graphics card attached via PCIe 2.0 x4 interface. Power consumption is at 6 Watt.
