Lol that is sort akin to running your own lemonade stand and going "Ya I finally sold my first glass of lemonade..... my mommy bought some". Bottom line no serious manufacturer has used Nvidia's parts in recent times. The shield "tablet" is not a tablet at all but really their attempt at a console. The battery life for the thing is extemely short (2-3 hours) so it has to be plugged in for any serious use. Even Nvidia's newer X1 chip has no instrustry support but might get a release as a optional addon for a luxury car dashboard sometime this year. The thing probably requires even more power than the K1. And both the X1 and K1 like the A80 use this odd gluing of two different cpus together in order to get more cores/performance. |
The Shield tablet is not a console, and limited battery life doesn't discount its performance, nor does the amount of "industry support" it has. (Google's Pixel C does use it Tegra X1 though, so it's not accurate to say it has "no industry support")
