While we already knew that such device is coming, Nvidia's next-generation Shield Tablet, the Shield Tablet X1, has been spotted in GFXBench benchmark.

Featuring the same 8-inch 1920x1200 resolution display as the predecessor, the Shield Tegra X1 tablet is powered by Nvidia's Tegra X1 octa-core SoC with four Cortex-A57 and four Cortex-A53 CPU cores, paired up with Nvidia Maxwell 256-core GPU and 3GB of RAM.

The device runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS and will probably be available in versions with 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, although the benchmark shows a weird 25GB number.

The aforementioned Tegra X1 SoC is made on 20nm manufacturing process and should offer over 1 TFLOPs of processing power, which means it will be twice more powerful and twice more efficient compared to the Kepler-based Tegra K1 in the original Shield Tablet.

There are no precise information regarding the launch date for the new Shield Tablet X1 or its price for that matter but earlier reports suggest that it should most likely be available in early 2016, which also means that Nvidia will miss the holiday shopping season.
