2/7/2015 > Benchmarks regarding the Shield Console are online! http://www.legitreviews.com/nvidia-shiel...rks_159587
The specs:
Tegra X1 CPU ARMv8 A57/A53 Octa Core @ ?,??Ghz With a nVidia Maxwell GPU with 256 Cores With 3GB Ram
Support for 4K Resolution
16GB Storage with support for MicroSD and external HDD
2 USB 3.0 Ports
IR Receiver
Gigabit Internet
Wifi AC 5Ghz
Bluetooth 4.1/BLE

So this tiny console suppost to get triple A pc games like Crysis 3 on android.
And yes not grid streaming but really getting the game running on android!
With that being said, we will see a 64-Bit CPU either quad core or octa core.
Is this good news for dolphin emulation? Yes it is.
So far we know snapdragon 8xx doing already a good job trying to emulate dolphin and the Nvidia K1 chip is doing even better and faster!
The X1 chip is about 50% faster then the K1 chip, with his maxwell what have been proven in the pc world a huge improvement in performance with less cuda cores will make the K1 chip look like nothing.
And not to mention, the console price is only 200 dollars!
So what do you think about nvidia's new Shield product?
Will you buy it or skip it?
And for dolphin devs, do you think this might give dolphin on android a huge framerate boost or not?
