A mysterious brand-new Nvidia-made tablet that turned up on a benchmarking site today could be a Nvidia Guard tablet meant for gaming.
The device, which appeared on GFXBenchmark with the name ‘Nividia Mocha,’ was pegged with a 7.9-inch 2048 x 1536 display and Nvidia’s remarkable 2.1 GHz quad-core Tegra K1 chip.
Not much else is known about the unannounced tablet, however a website called Fudzilla claimed this week to have ‘confirmation’ that it’s actually a Nvidia Shield tablet.
The tablet will apparently sign up with the ranks of the Android-based Nvidia Guard video gaming portable and, assuming that, we can begin to guess at its feature set.
Guesswork
The Tegra K1 processor, with its 192-core GPU, would alone make a possible Nvidia Guard tablet a remarkable gaming slate.
But assuming this tablet follows in the initial Nvidia Shield’s steps, the Guard branding brings a minimum of another essential function for gamers: GameStream.
GameStream lets users with particular chip sets in their gaming PCs stream titles to Shield. This does not rather let players take triple-A COMPUTER video games on the go, however it does let them take those games over to the sofa.
Of course if it’s anything like the existing Guard, this tablet will also have the ability to play Android games, making it a flexible little gaming gizmo.
Besides those guesses, the Nvidia Mocha was originally benchmarked with around 2GB of memory and 16GB of storage.
It’s anybody’s guess when we might hear more about this gadget – presuming there’s even more to hear – however E3 2014 is right around the corner.
