This won't help us at all. We can't use more than 1 or 2 cores.

These 50% are for the GPU, so you can play at a higher resolution. For emulation performance, only single core CPU performance matters. As the X1 "only" have A57 cores instead of the Denver within the K1, I guess it may also be slower. The X1 is build for multi-core, the K1-Denver is a dual core CPU which tries to get single threaded faster...

If you want to buy a faster one than the K1, you maybe have to wait for the Tegra Parker SOC...

I don't completly agree with you. The Shield(X1) support full OpenGL context. The JIT armv8 have clears avantage. More gpu power is maybe not very usefull at low res but in 4K. Denver is not really fast in real world application. And if this is a desktop platform so don't really care about power consumption. The processor have been push to the maximum frequency.

At least Nvidia Shield can replace Gamecube in your livingroom.
(Easy to connect multiple controllers, portable format, power, etc)
