NVIDIA Unveils Tegra K1, a 192-Core Super Chip by Jen-Hsun Huang Founder ,President and Ceo of Nvidia 2014

NVIDIA  unveiled the revolutionary Tegra® K1 mobile processor, a 192-core super chip featuring the same NVIDIA® Kepler™ architecture that powers the fastest GPU on the planet, the NVIDIA GeForce® GTX™ 780 Ti. For the first time, next-generation PC gaming will now be available on mobile platforms.

The Tegra K1 processor sets new mobile standards by supporting the latest PC-class gaming technologies, enabling it to run sophisticated gaming engines like Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4. It delivers advanced computation capabilities to speed the development of applications for computer vision and speech recognition. And its extraordinary efficiency delivers higher performance than any other mobile GPU at the same power level.

“Over the past two decades, NVIDIA invented the GPU and has developed more graphics technologies than any other company,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “With Tegra K1, we’re bringing that heritage to mobile. It bridges the gap for developers, who can now build next-gen games and apps that will run on any device.”

 Tegra K1 is offered in two pin-to-pin compatible versions. The first version uses a 32-bit quad-core, 4-Plus-1™ ARM Cortex A15 CPU. The second version uses a custom, NVIDIA-designed 64-bit dual Super Core CPU. This CPU (codenamed “Denver”) delivers very high single-thread and multi-thread performance. It is based on the ARMv8 architecture, which brings the energy-efficient heritage of ARM processor technology to 64-bit computing.

 Both versions of Tegra K1 deliver stunning graphics and visual computing capabilities powered by the 192-core NVIDIA Kepler GPU. The 32-bit version is expected in devices in the first half of 2014, while the 64-bit version is expected in devices in the second half of the year.

 World Liberty TV, Team was on hand at the Press Conference for the debut, of the Tegra K1, a 192-Core Super Chip, wonderfully presented by by Jen-Hsun Huang Founder ,President and Ceo of  Nvidia .

CES International, World’s largest Show 2014

WWE Network Presentations by Triple H and Shawn Michaels

Stephanie introduced Triple H and Shawn Michaels as the founding fathers of Degeneration X. The duo came out in DX attire, and threw glow sticks into the crowd. Hunter and Shawn did some schtick. Steph interrupted and said they are awesome at having fun, which is what the show “WWE Countdown” is all about.

 They did the “Let’s Get Ready To Suck It” routine with Stephanie and more schtick. “This is the first time I’ve done it with a woman,” Hunter said. Instead of “Suck It” they said “WWE Countdown” and then “Watch It.” A video hyped the countdown show.

 Triple H and Shawn come out with their DX gear, DX theme and glowsticks. They do some comedy and Triple H talks Shawn into not taking his pants off. Stephanie interrupts and announces WWE Countdown, a new one-hour series that lets fans rank and discuss a variety of topics. Triple H asks her if that’s how she’s going to announce it? She tells them to do better.

 They joke with her and have her assume the position to do the standard DX intro for the Countdown show. Triple H jokes this is the first time he’s “done it” with a woman. Stephanie apologizes and says this is very embarrassing. Triple H says let’s get ready for WWE Countdown and if you’re not down with that, watch this. We get a preview for the Countdown show. The show will count down things like best catchphrase, craziest villain and more. Shawn says he would have stayed on the couch if he had something like the Network when he was a kid. More comedy from the three.

Stephanie talks about Vince becoming a permanent character on TV many years ago. She says behind the scenes, Vince was fighting for his company. She plugs the Monday Night War. Triple H says “Wars” and HBK and Stephanie cut him off, saying there has only been one war. Sounds like a jab at TNA. Monday Night War: RAW vs. Nitro is another new show for the Network. Lots of comedy here. Triple H talks about how crazy the WCW vs. WWE days were. He says it made for some epic TV and we get a preview for the show.

WWE Wrestling Network Debut Press Conference, Las Vegas

WWE Network, the first-ever 24/7 streaming network for wrestling content, will be launched live in the U.S. on Feb. 24, and will feature all 12 World Wrestling Entertainment, or WWE, live pay-per-view events.

The network’s debut was officially announced by Vince McMahon, WWE’s chairman and CEO, at the CES 2014 in Las Vegas, and he was joined at the announcement by popular wrestlers John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H.

 “Today is a historic day for WWE as we transform and reimagine how we deliver our premium live content and 24/7 programming directly to our fans around the world,” McMahon said. “WWE Network will provide transformative growth for our company and unprecedented value for our fans.”

 The WWE Network will include “WrestleMania,” which will be made available for $9.99 a month with a 6-month commitment. At launch, the network will include original programming, reality shows, classic wrestling matches, and more than 1,500 hours of archived programming, which will include uncut and uncensored video libraries of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling.

The network will be available on desktops and laptops via WWE’s website. It will also be made available to fans through the WWE app on Android devices; iOS devices like Apple iPad and iPhone; Amazon’s Kindle Fire; Roku streaming devices; Sony PS3 and PS4; and Xbox360. The network will also be available on additional devices like Xbox One and select Smart TVs, after a few months of its launch.

 The second-screen experience, which will be made available for all original programming and live events through the WWE App, is said to be similar to the interactive fan experience currently available for flagship TV programs “WWE Raw” and “WWE SmackDown.”

 “We believe that this is the future,” Michelle Wilson, WWE chief revenue and marketing officer, reportedly said.

 WWE Network will air 30-minute-long pre- and post-shows for WWE’s weekly cable programs “Monday Night Raw” and “Friday Night SmackDown.” All episodes of original programming on WWE Network will be made available on demand immediately after they premiere.
