NVIDIA's Tegra X1 64-bit ARM SoC running (non-Android) Linux is a beast! I was given access to a SHIELD Android TV that was configured to run Ubuntu Linux, which has led for some exciting benchmarks. In some workloads, the Tegra X1 comes up just shy of an Intel Core i3 "Broadwell" system. The Tegra X1 has me very excited about the future of ARMv8 hardware on Linux and NVIDIA's continued Tegra advancements.
With only having remote access to this SHIELD TV configured to run Ubuntu, I so far just ran a few Linux processor benchmarks via the Phoronix Test Suite. The graphics benchmarks as well as some performance-per-Watt/efficiency benchmarks will come once I have physical access to a Tegra X1 system for being able to hook up the USB-based power monitor, etc. I'll also be able to run more benchmarks once I have my hands on an X1 system for being able to more easily port more of the Phoronix Test Suite test profiles (benchmarks) to 64-bit ARM, etc.

The Tegra X1 looks like a very fast CPU for Ubuntu Linux.
