Nvidia is working on a Android-based gaming console, according to a report from BBC. The un-named device will run on the company’s flagship Tegra K1 mobile chip that was announced in January this year.
The report also adds that this gaming console will feature both PC and Android games and will also include a special game controller. Also, this controller will be budget friendly unlike the mobile gaming device Shield. The Shield also runs non-gaming Android apps and support streamed PC games out-of-home via wi-fi as a test “beta” feature. However, the device has failed to pick up despite great reviews due to its bulky nature.
Moving on, the BBC report further stated that the Android PC gaming device will enable computers running on recent series of the GeForce graphics cards to stream gameplay through the device to a TV, via HDMI-out. As the device is expected to run on Tegra K1 mobile chip, it will be quiet powerful as the chip includes both an ARM-based central processing unit (CPU) and a 192-core GPU.
Meanhwhile, Nvidia’s Shield 2 has been spotted at FCC and surfaced online in benchmarks. Nvidia is also working on a Shield tablet with LTE support, according to earlier reports.
