That's not going to come out until probably 2nd quarter next year. By then, a Shield type device with 64bit and the Maxwell iteration of the Tegra SOC could be out. You could get some of the lower end 64bit SOC's that came out for a phone from Qualcomm right now, but they are more low spec devices.

The Adreno 420 is already available now on the Note 4, but it still performs well below the Tegra K1 GPU. And the drivers from Qualcomm is still far below par which holds the hardware back much.

The Nexus is a great device if you only want to use it as a tablet mostly. There is not going to be all the Nvidia extras that make the Shield Tablet unique. Console mode, Grid local/remote, Dwifi Shield Controller w/rumble, and shadowplay. The Nexus 9 also doesn't have a MicroSD card which is pretty much a non-starter for most if you want to moderately game on the device.
