- CPU cores using "Built on ARM Cortex Technology" license.
- 4x Little cores, probably based on Cortex-A53 + 4x Big cores, based on either Cortex-A72 or Cortex-A73.
- Adreno 540 an evolutionary upgrade of the 530. Gains probably from a mix of architectural efficiency improvements and higher clock speed.
- Memory controller designed by Qualcomm.

Looking forward to buy a PC device based on this processor running Windows 10.

Apparently the Tesla auto-pilot system is based on the PX2 platform, for hardware-only, with Tesla writing custom software.

So that's a good win, though Nvidia probably aren't getting the data Tesla is collecting from its cars out in the field using AP mode.
