Last year’s NVIDIA Tegra K1 turned out to be a very powerful processor. In fact, in the single core test on GeekBench, the SoC managed a score of over 1900 points, making it the leader.

This year, at CES 2015, the company announced its latest processor, the NVIDIA Tegra X1 which is supposed to be a super powerful eight core beast all set to put SoC’s like Snapdragon 810 to shame. The processor is said to feature eight 64-bit cores along with 256 core GPU, increasing the performance to twice that of last year’s K1.

Now, we have spotted a device powered with this super powerful processor and as expected, the benchmark results are off the charts! According to AnTuTu’s benchmark entry of a device with Tegra X1, it managed to score over 70,000 points. To be specific, it scored 74,977 points! This makes it the first device to actually break the 70,000 points barrier, showing off the actual power of this beast.

The CPU performance score is over 10,000 points and the 3D performance score is over 21,000 points even with 4K resolution support. That’s pretty impressive for a mobile device!

Unfortunately, we still don’t know when we will finally see the Tegra X1 in action. Not many devices used the K1 processor but hopefully, if the SoC’s performance is as good as this entry, then we are all the more excited to see a device with Tegra X1 in action.

So what do you think about this benchmark result? Impressed?

On May 15, Xiaomi officially released its 1499 RMB (240.50 USD) tablet.

The MiPad uses a 7.9-inch 2048 x 1536 display screen and runs on NVIDIA’s quad-core 2.2GHz Tegra K1 processor. It has 2GB RAM and 16/64GB of memory. At most, it supports 128 GB micro SD expandable memory card and comes with a 5mP/8mP Sony dual-camera. The MiPad is powered by a 6700mAh battery.

The MiPad also supports 802.11ac WiFi in 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi and Blue Ray 4.0. Its operating system is the Android 4.4.2-based MIUI Pad.

Let’s take a look at the photos taken by IT168 of the MiPad disassembled. Anyone who is interested in knowing what materials were used and its quality cannot miss this.

According to IT168, the MiPad is made of very sturdy materials. Upgrades were added to its stability and cooling functions. As for the chip, it’s also well made. It almost looks like it’s the newest model.

Simple structure + standard craftmanship— The MiPad disassembled

As IT168 disassembled the MiPad yesterday, he found out that there was a big difference in craftsmanship between a tablet and smart phone.

The way the processor is designed in the MiPad is similar to that of a smart phone. The processor is small and cooling is difficult.

The interior of the MiPad uses the three-section designed and is covered with plastic for stability and cooling.

The MiPad’s base follows a simple design since it does not support 3G/4G and has double speakers.

The MiPad runs on a 6520mAh LG battery.

Shown in the picture above is the printed circuit board which is used to connect the top half to the bottomhalf. It‘takes care of functions such as the micro USB adapter, speakers, and LED light.

The middle frame is supported by a duralium frame. Although the MiPad has a large size, it has fewer chips. You can see the chips face up in photo above.

It has a 8mP rear camera and 5mP front camera witth an F/2.0 aperture. The resolution is so-so. How’s the quality of the lens?

The main chips are covered by a metal case which was tightly attached to the motherboard making it hard for us to take it off.

The MiPad uses the most up-to-date chips around including the BCM4354 and ATMEL T touchscreen chips. It is als the first appearance of the Tegra K1. The MiPad is probably the most pwoerful tablet around when it comes to performance.
