Chip maker aims for living room dominance with new machine pushing Grid streaming service - it launches in May for $199
At the Nob Hill Masonic Center during GDC, graphics chip giant Nvidia unveiled a project that it says has been in the works for the last five years: the Shield console. Sharing the same name as the Shield tablet and portable, Nvidia's new console will be an Android TV console that brings entertainment of all kinds to people's living rooms. The device runs on the Nvidia X1 processor and has a 256-core Maxwell architecture GPU and 64-bit CPU. It can play movies in 4K resolution, and games can be streamed in 1080p (if you have a 30 Mbps connection - 10 Mbps gets you 720p).
