Nvidia Tegra-X1 Console announced

[KleinBoontjie]

The set-top box and console hybrid packs a Tegra X1 processor, which sports a 256-bit Maxwell GPU with 3GB of memory. Its body features a MicroSD slot, a Micro USB 2.0 port, two USB Type-A 3.0 ports, gigabit Ethernet port, and HDMI port.

Console and Android TV all-in-one. A-list games etc. 4K video playback, games also 4K at 60FPS.

Console plus shield controller at $199......wonder how much it will go for here?

Looks like an Xbox X on the side:

EDIT: All current gen consoles is build on AMD, so this is probably going to be a wet dream for the Nvidia fanboys

Not sure how I feel about the design though...

If I'm going to buy a console I'll get a PS4 or XB1 so I can play the exclusives. I don't see the appeal of this thing.

This may be a problem Storage: 16GB, MicroSD slot (supports 128GB cards)

So basically useless for us. $200 media player. meh

" NVIDIA’s minimum requirements are a 10Mbps hard line connection, a ping time to the GRID server of less than 60ms and a GameStream certified router with a 5GHz wireless channel."

So this is not a console, just a streaming box

That's what PS4 and XBO is becoming anyway. I think that's what they're aiming at. Soon you'll only be able to stream games.
