NVIDIA launched an 8 inch Android tablet designed for gaming in 2014. Then the company re-launched the tablet with a new name, but similar specs (and a lower price tag) in late 2015.

Now it looks like a new NVIDIA Shield tablet is on the way. Maybe this time NVIDIA will put a new chip in the tablet.

An unannounced NVIDIA tablet showed up at the FCC website this week.

While the FCC documents are light on specs, here’s what we do know:

It supports 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz 802.11ac WiFi.

The tablet has a micro USB port.

There’s Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy support.

The tablet measures 8.6″ x 4.8″ x 0.3″ and weighs 12.3 ounces.

The tablet’s model number if P2290W.

Last year’s Shield K1 Tablet had an 8 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel display, an NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. It was also a tiny bit bulkier, measuring 8.7″ x 5″ x 0.4″ and weighing 12.6 ounces.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the new model had a Tegra X1 chip and more memory… but those are just guesses.
