Everything You Need To Know About The NVIDIA Jetson TX1 Performance

Unfortunately I don't have any other 64-bit ARM development boards to compare to, but at least there's a lot of x86 hardware around Phoronix. I ran some fresh benchmarks on 33 very different systems part of our LinuxBenchmarking.com cluster and our other Linux benchmarking systems... The systems range from low-power AMD and Intel systems to older x86 hardware to modern high-core-count servers. Should be an entertaining look to see at how the Tegra X1 compares to x86.

When looking at the performance of the four Cortex-A57 cores of the Tegra X1 to various x86 hardware, there's still a ways to go in raw performance. However, in power efficiency, the Tegra X1 would be at or near the top of the pack. It's unfortunate about the USB serial situation on the JTX1 default kernel preventing our power efficiency tests from happening right now.

It will be interesting to see what the next-generation Tegra presents.

The four Cortex-A57 cores are mostly competing with x86 hardware from many years ago in raw performance. Besides power efficiency, another area to look at is the GPGPU performance.
