Now it looks like we have a better idea of what Nvidia plans to do with that Tegra X1 SoC it unveiled in January. At the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, the company has unveiled the living room-based Shield console, to go along with its existing Shield handheld and Shield Tablet. Calling it the world’s first Android TV console — a bit mean, considering what’s come before — Nvidia promises games and 4K movies, including 4K video capture, as well as streaming games from the cloud and from local PCs.
The small, sharply angled enclosure measures 5.1 by 8.3 by just 1 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.4 pounds. Under the hood is said Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC, with a 256-core Maxwell GPU and 3GB memory. There’s a somewhat stingy 16GB of flash storage for locally stored games, plus 802.11ac 2×2 MIMO 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 4.1 with BLE for use with an optional Bluetooth media remote.
