After launching its Nabu smartband, gaming peripheral company Razer launched another product that shifts away from the PC market. The company has unveiled its Android gaming console called the Forge TV. Apart from providing gamers with a platform to enjoy Android-based gaming titles, the Forge TV also lets users immerse themselves in PC games. 

The hardware specifications include Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 chipset, which features a quad-core Krait 450 CPU with cores running at a clock speed of 2.7 GHz each. The processor is aided by 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. Simply stated, the Forge TV can handle any taxing Android title thrown its way.  

Since the device features a Snapdragon 805 SoC, the Forge TV also runs using an Adreno 420 GPU, which has a default GPU clock speed of 600 MHz. As for the platform, the device uses Google's Android Lollipop 5.0 update. 

The Forge TV also grants the owner access to Razer's proprietary Razer Cortex streaming feature, which lets gamers stream their PC games straight to the Forge TV. However, there are requirements that need to be satisfied in order to successfully start streaming games on their console device. As a core requirement, the PC game has to be a DirectX 9 title or higher. 

Apart from games, the Forge TV can also stream music, movies and Android apps straight to the owner's television set. According to Razer, the device will be released during the first quarter of 2015, with the basic version retailing for $99.99. A controller-enabled Forge TV will possess a higher price tag of $149.99.
