NVIDIA Tegra X1 (T210)

8C/8T

NVIDIA's mobile processor announced at CES in January 2015, built around a 256-core Maxwell GPU. It is best known as the chip inside the original Nintendo Switch, and also powered the Shield Android TV, the Google Pixel C tablet, the Jetson TX1 module and the NVIDIA DRIVE CX and PX automotive platforms. Only one of its two CPU clusters can be active at a time, and shipping devices run on the Cortex-A57 cluster.
