Is NVIDIA run by aliens? Crop circles used to promote new 192 core Tegra K1
NVIDIA scared the heck out of people in Salinas, California when it created a giant crop circle to promote its just announced Tegra K1 SoC. The owner of the property claimed to be unaware of how the giant pattern appeared just before the end of the year. Some press reports noted the resemblance of the design to a computer chip, but one report had visitors to the site baffled over the repeated use of the number 192 written in braille. Of course, we know now that the Tegra K1 carries 192 cores.
The owner of the property, Scott Anthony, hired security guards to keep the public away, and he eventually plowed over the design. An airiel photographer named Julie Belanger had spotted the crop circle as she was flying over the field. "It was beautiful. Quite beautiful," she said. And while she added that she believes in aliens, she doesn't think that they would make crop circles to communicate with us.

Well Salinas, we now have the answer to your mystery. There are no aliens involved in producing that strange design cut into the field on Scott Anthony's farm. It was only silicon slinger NVIDIA.
