Birth of the first Tegra X1 device: game console + TV box!

Tegra X1 released at CES2015 finally ushered in the first real product, which is a new generation of Shield from NVIDIA official.

Unlike the previous handhelds and tablets, the Shield released by NVIDIA this time is a game console that combines the functions of a TV box.

Specific configuration, this game is equipped with an eight-core 64-bit Tegra X1 processor (four Cortex-A57 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores). The GPU is a 256-core Maxwell architecture with built-in 3GB memory and 16GB of body storage. Space, maximum support 128GB Micro SD card expansion.

The body of the aircraft is equipped with two USB 3.0 ports and a Micro USB port. It also supports infrared receivers. The network supports Gigabit cable networks and 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac). Of course, Bluetooth 4.1 is also on the support list.

In addition, foreign media also broke the news that the aircraft may have a built-in battery, but the battery life should not be ideal.

As for the operating system NVIDIA did not explicitly say, but it should be Android, as for the Android TV version does not know. As a TV box, its performance is also enough to support 4K@60fps 10bit VP9/H.265 video decoding, of course, this is the Tegra X1 processor credit.

Whether it is a game console or a TV box, the control device is indispensable. Nvidia has equipped it with a Bluetooth controller and a remote controller, as well as an upright stand.

This thing must be very expensive? In fact, NVIDIA's pricing is still very conscience, the official guide price of 199 US dollars, or about 1250 yuan, the listing time for this year in May.
