GamesNow: The 2nd generation Nvidia Shield specifications have leaked, to pack a hefty Tegra K1


Remember the Nvidia Shield? Yeah, I’m talking about that gaming console powered by Android on a hefty Tegra 4. Even though it didn’t change the portable gaming world, despite the beefy internals it sported, Nvidia is having a sequel in the works. The upcoming successor of the Android-based handheld gaming console SHIELD will feature Nvidia’s premium K1 chipset clocked at 2.5 GHz, according to a leaked AnTuTu benchmark result.

Nvidia SHIELD’s sequel is said to come out with 4 GB of RAM and is rumored to sport a Kepler graphics processing unit with 192 CUDA cores. The upcoming device has managed to score a whopping 44,500 points in the AnTuTu benchmarking (Given the fact that the benchmark results can be easily faked, we suggest you to take it all with a pinch of salt).

If the rumors are to be trusted, the next-generation handheld console will sport a 1440 x 810 pixels resolution display, 0.3 megapixel front facing shooter, 16 GB of internal memory and Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system.
