Titolo: Nvidia Unleashes The Shield 4K Microconsole 3x the Power of Xbox One by Plugging into GRID

The Nvidia GDC 2015 event just ended and it had some pretty interesting 
mentions throughout. However probably the thing to get most excited 
about is the Nvidia’s new micro-console. It doesnt have a chip in 
either the PS4 or the Xbox One and it looks like they will be entering 
the console market with their own offering. And while SoC Class devices 
cannot really be expected to keep up with high performance APUs (that 
are present in the likes of Xbox One and PS4) this is exactly what 
Nvidia aims to do (and might actually succeed at) by using GRID’s 
distributed computing.
 
World’s First 4k Android Console TV’ – Launches with ~100 total titles 
and Yes it can run Crysis
 
I admit I have mixed feelings about this release. What Nvidia is 
claiming to achieve is preposterous, somewhat done before and unlikely 
to succeed at the same time. Yet, it is without a doubt, something that 
is potentially disruptive. If this product takes off, it will be 
successful beyond anything that we could have imagined. Tiny form 
factor, 4K playback  and AAA gaming with a competitive price tag is 
most definitely something with a very big market. Before we get into 
the nitty gritty of the microconsole here are some official remarks and 
the specifications of the SHIELD entertainment device.
 
Built on Android TV, SHIELD can play top-quality 4K video content, 
includes one-click access to Google Voice Search and provides the 
richness of Android’s app ecosystem.SHIELD is a sleek device that comes 
loaded with cutting-edge NVIDIA technologies, including the recently 
launched NVIDIA® Tegra® X1 processor. SHIELD is also the gateway to the 
NVIDIA GRID™ game-streaming service.
 
Powered by GeForce® GTX™ supercomputers in the cloud, GRID delivers an 
on-demand “Netflix for games” experience at up to 1080p resolution at 
60 frames per second. “SHIELD will change the way we enjoy digital 
entertainment at home,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of 
NVIDIA. “It’s an incredibly powerful, efficient and advanced living 
room entertainment device. It’s the best Android TV experience. And it 
can transform into a serious gaming machine. It’s made to game.”
