‘Nvidia has canceled successor K1 tablet’

Nvidia seems to have deleted the successor to the K1 tablet, which the company was working on. The company writes this to the American FCC. That Nvidia was working on the tablet was also apparent from documents from that inspection body.

Nvidia does not mention specific reasons for stopping the tablet in the letter, Android Police writes, except that it is for ‘business reasons’. Earlier documents showed that the successor to the Shield tablet from 2014 and Tablet K1 from 2015 carried the type number P2290W, had dimensions of 218 × 123 × 8 mm and supported Wi-Fi ac. The tablet would have been codenamed Hawkeye, equipped with an Nvidia Tegra X1-soc and had a screen with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels. The application for a new Shield portable is still pending at the FCC.

When discussing the quarterly figures, Nvidia does not report anything about the possible arrival of the tablet or the new Shield portable. The manufacturer does talk about the Tegra-soc, but then as a chip for infotainment in the car, self-driving vehicles and systems for deep learning and artificial intelligence. Tegra sales rose 30 percent to $166 million. Revenue from GPUs increased by 25 percent compared to last year to 1.2 billion dollars. Nvidia’s total quarterly revenue was $1,428 million. Net profit came in at $253 million, which was 873 percent higher than a year ago.
