nicknamed NVIDIA Corporation SHIELD AndroidTV Game Console P3430. Judging by the document, the device will receive support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless networks, but these incredible technologies for 2019 are not the most interesting. According to Androidcentral journalists, the same device was listed on Google Play Developer (GPD) with the codename “mdarcy”, which indicates a new model in the line, because the current generation of SHIELD is called “darcy”.

Judging by the GPD page, the new console mayget the Tegra X1 T210 processor, which is also found in the Nintendo Switch and the current version of the Nvidia TV set-top box. According to Xda-developers, the “mdarcy” chip features support for the Android 9 Pie toolkit and runs on Linux 4.14 kernels.
