OREANDA-NEWS. October 12, 2015. Our GPUs power cutting-edge supercomputers, digital cockpits in a new generation of automobiles, incredible virtual reality experiences and our SHIELD smart TV console. Now you can get our Maxwell GPU architecture — the world’s most advanced — in Google’s first Android device focused on productivity, the Pixel C.

Launched today at a Google event in San Francisco, the Pixel C is the first Android tablet built end-to-end by Google. The Pixel C and its fully adjustable keyboard are designed for the on-the-go user, and features our Tegra X1 super chip, a 10.2-inch display at 2560?1800 (308 PPI) resolution and 500 nits bright, USB Type-C port and portable design.

The Pixel C brings together the benefits of a full-size keyboard with the portability of a tablet. The tablet and keyboard attach magnetically — no docking mechanism — so it’s easy to switch between typing and using the touchscreen.

Our 256-core Tegra X1 — the same chip we put into our SHIELD Android TV box — brings the most advanced graphics and games to Google’s new Pixel C. The latest in Google’s Pixel line of devices also features the newest version of Android, 6.0 Marshmallow.

It’s just the latest result of our ongoing collaboration with Google. Over the past few years, we’ve helped Google redefine the tablet market with the first Nexus 7 tablet, praised for its Tegra-powered multimedia prowess and budget \\$199 price, as well as the Tegra K1-powered Nexus 9 tablet, the first 64-bit Android device.

Not to mention we’ve helped open doors to new capabilities with computer vision with the Tegra K1-powered Project Tango tablet dev kit, the first mobile device to move computer vision out of the lab and into the hands of mobile developers.

With a Tegra X1 inside, the Pixel C offers a 256-core Maxwell GPU — the same graphics architecture as our GeForce graphics cards — for the most advanced graphics and games, and delivers more than enough power for work and entertainment.

Everything from supercomputers to PCs and mobile devices feature our GPU architecture. Put that level of visual computing technology into a mobile device and you unlock new possibilities for computer vision, gaming, photography and the web.

The Pixel C will be available in time for the holidays. It will start at \\$499 for a 32GB version and \\$599 for a 64GB version. The optional keyboard is \\$149.
