The 7-year-old Nvidia Shield TV is now $100 more expensive thanks to AI
摘要
英伟达宣布，2019年发布的Shield TV Pro即刻涨价100美元，售价从199.99美元升至299.99美元。该设备搭载较老的Tegra X1+处理器，支持AI升频和多种媒体硬件解码。英伟达发言人向Ars确认，涨价源于AI时代内存等组件成本在全行业大幅上涨。非Pro版Shield已停产，Pro版继续销售。
The era of generative AI has upended technology supply chains, and there is one ironclad rule in 2026: If it has memory or storage, it's getting more expensive. Even devices with years-old tech inside are still apparently subject to that unwritten rule. Nvidia has just announced that the Shield TV Pro is getting $100 more expensive, effective immediately.
The most recent version of the Shield streaming box debuted in 2019, running Android TV with AI upscaling and hardware decoding for almost any type of media. While it ran an aging Tegra X1+ processor, that was (and still is) fast for a TV media streamer. The device launched at $199.99, with a non-Pro variant at $149.99. The non-Pro Shield has since been discontinued, but the Shield TV Pro lives on at the new $299.99 price.
Nvidia has confirmed that you can blame AI for the higher Shield TV pricing. "Starting October 2, SHIELD Pro will be priced at $299. The cost of components, including memory, has increased substantially across the industry," a spokesperson told Ars.
