Fuze Console!!!!

Dunno where exactly to put this, but I feel this place is some what suitable. (Mods if you think otherwise, by your graces move it).

WTH is this thing? A Chinese console that is powered by Nvidia, stole the UI from Sony and copied the controller from Microsoft.

I can't stop laughing for some reason. How is this even legal?

Welps, Nvidia got their own console, and if you go by the article, it's better than current consoles. I don't even know if this is real.

Please see the full specs below

Nvidia Tegra K1 (4 Core A15 @ 2.2GHz
Nvidia Keppler @ 852Mhz (325GLOPS)
4GB DDR3 RAM @ 933Mhz
32GB eMMC storage (Elite = 500GB HDD)
Wi-Fi & Bluetooth support
HDMI, USB 3.0 x 1, Ethernet (Elite = Qi Wireless controller charger)
Fuze OS (Android) + Open GL 4.4 & Open GL ES 3.1 support
Chinese & English game support

It even has VR!!!

Woof, I know the Chinese have a bad rep for infringing, but this is insane. Haha.

 

[linkgoron]

Finally a console win for nvidia!

Chinese Console Effect ftw

[airfathaaaaa]

there was a gpu from a chinese site
saying it has a amd radeon maxwell 3.0 core with great calorific value

 

[USER8000]

Everybody!! Don't blow a Fuze over it!!

 

[therealnickdanger]

NVIDIA needs to do something to recoup all that R&D and sell the warehouses full of Shield parts.

What exactly can MS or Sony do? Legal action isn't going to work considering it's China.

 

[airfathaaaaa]

even apple lost the trademark iphone some days ago on china

If you can flash the thing with a stock Android ROM, I'd be tempted to pick one up cheap. Shame it's a K1 and not an X1.

EDIT: Whatever happened to the OBox? Same thing, a cheap Chinese Android "console" powered by Tegra K1. Seems to have vanished without a trace.

EDIT 2: There's also the JXD S192, a handheld powered by the Tegra K1. Seems to have run into production problems, judging by statements on the website. Shame, I'd like to see some decent new Android gaming devices.

I dunno, it's just hilarious how blatant it is. I guess since I don't follow the Chinese market much I was just caught of guard. ALready 76 games expected to launch. That console might have a fighting chance in that market haha.

You've basically summed up China.

XDDDD that is epic. And we know that is using a single core MISHAP, I mean, MIPS (the whole architecture became a mishap itself)

And the truest reality is that there will be a clone using NES components and a clone of a clone using Tiger Electronics crap.

I'll stick with my NVIDIA Shield TV...which is pretty much only used for Netflix and Plex :\
Android Gaming isn't there yet IMO. NVIDIA seems pretty adamant on pushing it though, and the X1 is no slouch.

This isn't just Android Gaming. It seems to be a combination of Android Gaming and PC Gaming based on the list of alleged upcoming games.

With no fears of having to pay royalties or any of the stuff that would make such an endeavor hard, this thing might actually become successful in China haha.

only on stuff that isn't an cellphone. I don't see a big deal at all. in fact it could help it's popularity in china.

You can use the shield to play PC games though. The feature was a great idea but then Valve said, oh great idea, we will make that happen without this product. That is when my interest in shield tanked.

It's PC games ported to Android. NVIDIA has been driving developers to do this for awhile.

The list of games contains a mix of PC and Android original games.

With NVIDIA Gamestream you can. You'll still need to use NVIDIA servers (paid for service), or have a gaming PC in the house with an NVDIA GPU. It won't play PC games natively.

Would you look at that. I wonder if NV is involved with this console directly?

 

[dark zero]

Hardly... NVIDIA would sell their own products on there... China is a very hard market for non Chinese makers.

 

[psolord]

It would be funny if they could fuze a polaris and a gp104 on a single graphics card, with 8GB DDR5 and sell it for 200$!

We need some boxes this size with X86 inside. I don't feel like replacing my Steam collection with Android games. I have a Alienware Alpha, but I would like some more options.
