文句

Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang on Sunday outlined the Tegra K1, a 192 core "super chip" that aims to bridge the gap between mobile computing and supercomputing. The plan for Nvidia is to create an architecture that will play along with Android to disrupt industries ranging from gaming to automobiles and cloud computing.

Speaking at CES 2014 in Las Vegas, Huang said the Tegra K1 will meld supercomputing momentum---Nvidia has gained a lot of traction in supercomputing---and cloud game development on Android...

Huang noted you can get PC games on your television via its game console Shield and a technology called GameStream, which streams games wirelessly. However, there have been latency issues that Nvidia has been looking to fix. Tests in the field by CNET have noted that Shield game streams can lag.

Nvidia did a demo showing a game stream connected to a server in France. "The GRID virtualized GPU server gamestreaming across the ocean in 30 milliseconds back the Shield device," said Huang.

Huang also outlined G-Sync, a technology that is designed to limit latency and lag in visual computing. G-Sync can deliver game frame rates as fast or as slow as needed because it synchronizes with the source of the application. G-Sync will be available in the second quarter from Nvidia.

G-Sync accomplishes its feat by adding more buffers for latency, updating a frame as soon as the GPU is ready and delivering frames at a variable rate.

解釋

to bridge the gap  填補空缺；縮短差距

to disrupt  使瓦解。這裡指的是可以在安卓系統上跑的架構(Tegra K1)，打破遊戲、汽車和雲端運算間不同需求的藩籬。

to meld supercomputing momentum  結合超級電腦的動力（/特性）

to gain traction  "traction" 本來是指物理上的 "牽引力"。這裡可以當作是在超級電腦上的成績 "受到廣泛的認同"。

GameStream  遊戲中，利用無線網路上傳下載的技術

latency issues  潛在/隱藏的問題

G-Sync  NVIDIA公司發展的全新顯示技術，提供順暢、疾速的遊戲體驗。透過將顯示器刷新率同步至您配備 GeForce GTX 電腦中的 GPU，並排除畫面撕裂與降低螢幕跳動與延遲，達到遊戲的場景立即顯示、物體更清晰、遊玩過程流暢，大幅提升視覺體驗並戰力。（參考 VIDIA 網站）

feat  技術；絕技

GPU  圖形處理器，又稱顯示核心、視覺處理器、顯示芯片，是一種專門在個人電腦、工作站、遊戲機和一些移動設備上圖像運算工作的微處理器。(定義參考)
