Nvidia unveils Android-based mobile game system ‘Project Shield’

Graphics processors manufacturer Nvidia announced at CES 2013 a mobile gaming system it’s currently calling Project Shield. The device is about the size and shape of an Xbox 360 controller with an attached 5-inch, 720p multitouch screen that can be flipped open and closed in a clamshell design. 

Nvidia says that that device is stocked with Google’s latest Android Jelly Bean operating system, providing full access to all Android apps and the Google Play store, as well as TegraZone, Nvidia’s proprietary mobile apps store.

Project Shield is powered by Nvidia’s new Tegra 4 processor which is based on ARM’s quad-core Cortex A15, and features 72 graphics processing unit (GPU) cores.
