Nvidia Tegra K1 "Mocha" Tablet Appears in Benchmark
Is Nvidia working on a new tablet design using the Tegra K1?
Here's the bad news right up front: the specs for an unannounced Nvidia device called "Mocha," originally posted on the GFXBench website, are no longer online. The good news is that Liliputing managed to grab the specs before they disappeared, and they're impressive for a 7.9-inch tablet.
According to the specs, the tablet will sport a 7.9-inch screen with a 2048 x 1536 resolution and at least a 5-point touch input. This tablet – and we say tablet because the Shield specs already showed up on AnTuTu – is powered by Nvidia's new Tegra K1 ARM Cortex-A15-based SoC.
As for other features, the list is slim: 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage (13 GB free), and support for OpenGL ES 3.1. Android 4.4.2 "KitKat" is the OS of choice, which is the same OS used on Nvidia's Shield handheld console. Liliputing also lists a 7MP camera on the back, a 4.8MP on the front, Wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, and GPS.
So now we're left with rumor and speculation. There's a good chance this will be a next-generation Tegra Note reference design, packing Nvidia's DirectStylus tech that allows chisel-tip styluses to draw lines of different widths based on the amount of pressure and angle.
News of a possible new reference design arrives after the Shield 2 specs leaked on a benchmark in April. If the numbers are true, the upcoming handheld will feature the Nvidia Tegra K1 chip with 192 CUDA cores powering a screen with a 1440 x 810 resolution. Also included is 4 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, and a 0.3MP camera.

Exactly how many apps on android use more than 1GB of ram? even after several days of intense usage of my N5, with tons of apps suspended, and chrome and asphalt 8 open, ive never seen even 1GB usage, let alone 2.

Some people just want to have a beefy specs just to look cool.
...or some people actually use their mobile devices for more than flash games, and don't want to have to cripple their browsing habits because the mobile device can't handle it.
I use my nexus 5 extensively as well, both as a buisness phone and for quick research. Because of the way that I use my internet browser (that is, actually making good use of tabs), I do often find myself running out of ram.
Reading fail much? this is Tegra K1; the Kepler architecture SoC, very very cool stuff that's BARELY on the market now.
This post displays a total lack of understanding on Android, storage and RAM.
For a start, the OS using the RAM is not a bad thing at all. It's by design and it's so you speed up the system. If a game or app ever needed RAM the system would free up RAM.
What do you think SSD storage is? Magical fairy blocks? SSD's are NAND flash chips. The very same kind of chips found in phones and tablets. They are not at all, in any way, slow. SDcards are slow.
You are too stupid to be buying these things and posting on websites. Please do not ever try to influence someone on any kind of mobile device purchase.

My SGS4 has 2GB RAM. I use it for games (not "flash" games - they don't exist on Android phones just FYI), browsing (I've noticed around 15 tabs open at once before today), music, etc. And I've barely used more than 75% of the RAM. The games I play are 200MB-1GB in size (assets, mostly, I don't suppose most of that is loaded into RAM, that'd be ridiculous).
No offence, but your phone was designed for multitasking, but there's a reasonable limit.

There is absolutely a reasonable limit, but for something such as a tablet, the point of which is to provide an ultra-portable web browser (at least in my eyes), I'd like it to be able to support the 40+ tabs I have in a bookmark folder if I'm continuing research I had left off at a previous point.
