The countdown is on to the launch of the Nvidia Shield Tablet, which has the very real potential to change the way we look at mobile gaming forever.
So it’s looking like we’re just three days away from one of the biggest arrivals of the year…at least if you’re of the hardcore gaming persuasion, that is.
The Nvidia Shield Tablet lands in 72 hours.
It’s been pretty obvious for a while that Nvidia has been baking something rather significant behind the scenes, with all manner of leaks pointing to a rather colossal gaming tablet. Not that they’ve confirmed any such thing themselves, but beady-eyed observers have extracted all the details that could have been needed to know what’s happening.
Now, there’s a naughty-little countdown timer teasing a launch set to take place on July 22, which again hasn’t been explained. Instead, Nvidia has told the world that “The ultimate is coming” which given the firm’s already well-established prowess in gaming stakes could be quite game-changing…no pun intended.
Pulling together the facts and figures to date, the Nvidia Shield Tablet as it’s being called will be something of an uber-powerful gaming tablet powered by Google’s Android OS. Reports have tipped a mighty Nividia Tegra K1 chip at its heart and a 7.9-inch touchscreen boasting 2,048 by 1,536 resolution. In addition, it will also apparently be able to stream games directly from PCs in the same manner as the shield.
Exciting stuff, isn’t it?
