They always underdeliver. I think they don't want to bring their A game to their SoCs (the new Kepler SoC gave me a little hope, but theit continuous problems with 4G made me forgot it. Come on, it isn't rocket science to have 4G). I love my Nexus 7 2012 and I'm still pretty happy with its performance. But I was happy to see Google move to Qualcomm in the 2013 model. Qualcomm simply is more compromised with innovation and that will guarantee that my next tablet will have the best tech.
Only to add more problems, there is the OpenGL ES 3.0 support. I couldn't believe that the Tegra 4 would not support it while Qualcomm was putting support for it on it's SoCs for quite some time. That meant that the new Tegra Tablet and the NVidia Shield, supposed to be a high end gaming device, were actually inferior to the Nexus 5, Nexus 4, Galaxy S4 and S3, LG Optimus G and so on. Devices even 1-year older than the Shield can just crush it on games like Asphault 8 with support to OGL 3.0. I simply don't get what NVidia does when projecting that things. These hot new tech demo? Shield can't run it like that.
