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.
Design for the ASIL C Fictional safety will sample next year but this is as much as JenHsung wanted to share at this point. It should be able to reach 20 bps DL and 160 SpecINT. With 20W TDP it wont be heading for any tablet or, god forbid, a phone.
