NVIDIA recently showcase its latest processer K1 which is easily able to beat the latest Qualcomm snapdragon 801ac as the beauty lies in its 192-core Kepler GPU.
Yep, you read that right, the desktop-grade Kepler graphics are coming in a mobile form, whether you need that much pixel-pushing for Android games, or not. You'll certainly need them for the 4K video rendering
The Adreno 330 GPU in Snapdragon 801 runs on 578 MHz, while the Kepler GPU in Tegra K1 is clocked at 950 MHz, so there might be issues with power consumption and heat. Nvidia claims that, while K1 outperforms both the Xbox 360 and the PS3, it consumes much less energy. The power consumption might still need work when it comes to mobile devices, though
Nvidia said it will be able to shoehorn the K1 into the sub-2W category under non-peak loads, which should put it on a fairly equal footage with Snapdragon 801.
From above an-tutu scores we can easily see that the score of k1 surpass the 801,805 score by 20%

but wait still there are the limitations
“The power supply for this K1 demo is a 60W feed. If that number makes your jaw drop, you do get the right picture, this system has a massive draw…Based on this and other information, SemiAccurate estimates a 35-40W draw for the entire system.”
There isn’t a smartphone or tablet battery on the planet that could provide the K1 with the required power, unless Nvidia substantially underclocks the silicon heading to OEMs. But if Nvidia will be delivering underclocked silicon so it can meet realistic power profiles of devices, it would be questionable as to why a manufacturer would pick it over a tried-and-true Qualcomm chip.
well upcoming time will tell if nvdia will able to manage the wattage or not and we will see in future.
