"Nuclear" battle continues Game console will spawn Android device hardware watershed


The host of the game is in China, and it is not only the enthusiasm of the "Host Party" game, but also a large number of hardware manufacturers to the gaming machine in this circle suddenly!

Although the Android system gives infinite imagination to smart devices from watch to TV, for Android game consoles, most people who have heard a lot of them have reservations and even "halo" attitudes. After all, an Android system is doomed to smart phones. At the same starting line, it is of little significance for mobile games to be played on television again.

Can the same starting line mean that the finish line is the same?

Host Platform = more full "hardware"

At the beginning of the Android game console, there were indeed some products that lacked sincerity, low-performance processor chips and some "game consoles" mixed from TV boxes.

Now, the goals of Android game console makers are even higher. Realizing that adequate hardware is the basis of all experiences, from the current market situation, all the Android game consoles that are devised are almost aimed at the same chip selection. A goal NVIDIA Tegra.

What does NVIDIA Tegra chip mean? It doesn't need much to say about electronic gamers. "Two-Emperor Warrior" Huang Renxun has always been committed to bringing the graphics technology of the PC platform to the mobile-class processing chip. For the game-oriented terminal devices, Excellent graphics processing capabilities are even more important.

But the pros and cons, along with the top performance is necessarily a higher power consumption, once the Tegra4 chip is only a short-lived in a few mobile phone products, and the more powerful Tegra K1 is directly used only in a larger size On the Tablet PC, even on the SHEILD product that is its own display platform, NVIDIA has been designed to add cooling fans.

The most direct influence of high power consumption is the limitation of the processor performance. In order to ensure the stable operation of the product, the word down-clock is no stranger to everyone. From the mobile devices, NVIDIA Tegra, which is well-known, is gradually encountered on mobile devices. To the bottleneck.

However, the game console obviously does not need to consider so many things. The power supply comes from 220V AC. The main body of the machine does not need much consideration for portability. There is enough internal space to arrange all the necessary heat sinks. The work of the processor chip is to spread the leg. Run forward.

Hardware development will accelerate Android host differentiation

Host manufacturers favor Tegra chips, and NVIDIA itself does not want to "plug" this processor back into the phone.

At the just-concluded CES2015 International Consumer Show, NVIDIA has redoubled its efforts to release the Tegra X1, a more "nuclear-bomb". The Maxwell architecture has 256 stream processors designed to deliver twice the performance of the Tegra K1 on desktop graphics. Nor did it treat the new product as a regular mobile chip. This time the official platform is the car.

The graphics processing performance that can be so strong naturally does not lack the attention of game console manufacturers, and Tegra X1 is theoretically a matter of time only when it comes to Android game consoles.

So, it's interesting to come, and you can't say that the Android game console is just an enlarged version of the smartphone or tablet. After all, there is a big gap between the two types of hardware and the host has a clear performance advantage.

This is similar to today's PCs, although they all use Windows systems, but Microsoft's Surface and Ultrabooks must hope that the processor's power consumption is lower and the battery life is longer, and game enthusiasts must be without GTX 970/980. The flagship video card is not happy users.

With the development of hardware, Android devices will also usher in this trend, who is the "flagship graphics card" Android platform is now obvious, and game developers will not ignore these powerful performance devices and only stare at the phone tablet Keeping up, similar to the trinity of large-scale 3D games or transplantation games by NVIDIA Tegra chip equipment is also nothing new. The foundation of hardware is the possibility of content, especially the difference of game content.

Therefore, the emergence of game consoles will spawn a watershed for Android device hardware. In 2014, we saw such a slenderness. By 2015, it may be that good things will happen.
