NVIDIA Project Shield, the company’s first gaming console with a 5-inch HD display and NVIDIA’s Tegra 4 processor was released last year. There were rumors about NVIDIA working the successor for this year, now the specifications of a prototype has surfaced on AnTuTu. This reveals that the next-generation Shield console could be powered by a 64-bit quad-core NVIDIA Tegra K1 chip clocked at 2.5 GHz with 192-core NVIDIA Kepler GPU. It would have 4GB of RAM and run on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat).
The display size has not been revealed in the benchmarks, but the display resolution is mentioned as 1440×810. The original resolution could be 1440×900, since 90 pixels is occupied by Android on-screen nav-bar. According to the listing, it would have 16GB of internal storage and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera.
Other details such as battery and dimensions are not available yet. This could have a different design and come with new features compared to the first Shield console. ASUS Gamebox with a Tegra 4 chip and 2GB RAM surfaced earlier this year on AnTuTu and the controller appeared on Bluetooth SIG, but the company has not made it official.
