Wow, the competition remains fierce!! Just when Nvidia thought that they were so far ahead with their Tegra X1, Qualcomm manages a comeback.

Too bad Nvidia couldn't have had their Tegra X1 in more tablets for several months since it debuted on their SHIELD Android TV, with the recently released Google Pixel C the only tablet on the market with such chip. Could it have been production issues?
Nvidia needs to try to go big once again like they did with Tegra 2 and to a smaller extent, Tegra 3. They might have the tech, but delivering it on more than just one device these days seem to be a problem (Tegra 4 being on the first SHIELD months before being available for EVGA Tegra Note 7, then Tegra K1 only being available on the Shield Tablet for many months until custom Denver Tegra K1 were featured in Nexus 9. What gives? Did most companies sign a hidden contract with Qualcomm to stay away from Nvidia, or are these tablet companies avoiding Nvidia for another reason (being burned by delays that broke the deadlines one too many times)?
This isn't the Nvidia that I know. In the PC industry, Nvidia rose as the world's best GPU company due to its market dominance that required massive product availability. Nvidia didn't go the 3dfx route and ditch all other AiB's, choosing to market only its own brand alone (or have just one AiB like EVGA make cards along with Nvidia). What gives?
