Nvidia teases Volta GPU in next-gen Xavier self-driving car computer
Nvidia's Pascal GPUs are generating a lot of enthusiasm, but their successor, the Volta GPU architecture, is on its way next year, and there's a lot to be excited about.
Nvidia unveiled Volta in a new Xavier supercomputer chip designed for self-driving cars, with the small surprise coming Wednesday at the company's GPU Technology Conference in Amsterdam.
Xavier provides unprecedented computing horsepower, allowing cars to recognize images, analyze on-road situations and take actions. Much of the processing will happen on an integrated 512-core Volta GPU.
Xavier will power the successor to Nvidia's current self-driving car computer called Drive PX 2.
