Nvidia announces project SHIELD
source - The Escapist : News : Nvidia Announces "Project SHIELD" Portable Gaming Device
This looks very interesting for anyone that is at all into portable gaming. It sounds like a next step kind of thing. Thought I would share with our community here. Quote: Project SHIELD has a big screen, a full-sized controller, and can even play some PC games.
Graphics giant Nvidia has announced a new entry in the handheld gaming arena. It's called "Project SHIELD", and it's an Android-based portable gaming unit that can play PC games and stream content to HDTV.
The Nvidia-branded device will feature a 5" 720p multi-touch flip screen, which is attached to a controller with a D-pad, dual analog sticks, four face buttons, shoulder buttons, and triggers. It also has 802.11n wireless connectivity and integrated speakers (or a "bass-reflex, tuned port audio system", if you will). Pixels will be pushed along by a custom 72-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor, and it'll all be running on Android Jelly Bean. | My System Specs |

Just kidding, just kidding~ Maybe Nvidia will be able to make this device not heat up as much as some of their chips. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Sounds more to me like they're trying to jam the whole console into just the controller. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Insane hobo technologies. ;-)

Not that it's so hard. Psvita and DS and whatever don't have much different dimensions anyway.
And this has nothing to do with a GPU as we know it. It's an ARM processor, like the ones in smartphones/tablets/whatever. To run PC games it needs a PC with a (NVIDIA) GPU and a connection to it. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I'm thinking that if AMD pushed forward with tabled and used their APU's, they would DOMINATE the market. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

The idea of a gaming tablet makes me laugh, and it won the CES award too. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Insane hobo technologies. ;-)
