Nvidia announces own 'Shield' gaming device at CES

The chip, which retains the same 4-plus-1 arrangement of its predecessor, arrives with a whopping 72 GeForce GPU cores -- effectively offering six times the Tegra 3's visual output and is based on the 28nm process. It also is the first quad-core processor with Cortex A15 cores on-board, and offers compatibility with LTE networks through an optional chip. NVIDIA claims this piece of silicon is the world's fastest mobile processor

 

The Tegra 4 also introduces new computational photography architecture, which adds a new engine to drive the image processing and significantly improve the amount of time it takes to calculate the necessary mathematics 10 times faster than current platforms. To show off its power, NVIDIA demonstrated HDR rendering on live video. The chip is also capable of implementing HDR in burst shots and with LED flash. The idea, NVIDIA says, is to eventually make our mobile cameras more powerful than DSLRs, and this is certainly a step in the right direction.

 

The Tegra 4 will also enable 4K ultra high-definition video support, as well as PRISM 2 display tech that claims to reduce the power used by the backlight. Doing so will result in a 45 percent decrease in power consumption when compared to Tegra 3.

 

what do you want more?

And it has been just a week.

 

h/w is already out to outsiders. Fails are very unlikely, cuz there are thousands of Tegra 3 devices and they have window of 3 months to correct thing....now only if the retail units turn out to be totally different than the dev ones.

Well the focus of these devices mainly is to run emulators, because all those Tegra 3 or Android games look crap on HDTVs. The textures in those games are not created with HD resolutions in mind. As long as these devices are running emulators fine, they are doing their job. There are 1-2 others coming up.

lol Even Doom 3 looks better than Shadowrun on 42 inch tv, and Doom 3 came out in 2004. All I can see is bloomed up lighting. Rest all was crap.

Doom 3 running on a 6800 and with dedicated CPU and memory runs better than another game running on mobile SOC.

valid comparison. :good:
