No way, that's a grade A fuck-up that simply cannot be made with production of modern hardware on a huge scale like this.



but.. AMD has nothing to do with the actual chip production (since they split off their fabs as "GlobalFoundries" in 2009) , they only do the chip design



I dont believe this one bit... just look at AMD's stock as of recent. its the highest its ever been

This doesn't even sound remotely believable.

Exactly... this sounds like a 12 year old made this up, whos knowedge in IT is topped at the part where he installs the Facebook app on her mothers iPhone...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

This is BS. This "rumor" is clearly a joke.

For real? How something like this happens?

Probably "for real".

The error is believable enough - factory is supposed to have chip A sent to board A, and chip B to board B. But someone makes a mistake, and chip A is going to board B, and chip B to board A. So I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the story itself is real.

What is highly doubtable is the idea that this is a reason for the delay. The manufacturing process would be distributed among many factories, and it's still at least 7 months before any theoretical holiday 2016 release, so it's hard to believe that such a screwup would delay things by more than a week or so, overall.

Do we post every shit from random guys now??? Hilarious!!!

Everything is Thread Worthy when it comes to NX.

I cant wait for someone to find the face of Kimishima on a Cinnabon so i can comment on that thread

O.P. Nah, i dont believe it.

P.D. Can we please tone down the NX threads? It is literally flooding the Home Page.



The good side to this rumor if it's true is Nintendo will probably be able to get a really good deal from AMD, so Nintendo could theoretically release the same powered spec console and release it at a cheaper price then they were going to.

So for example if the NX was going to be $400, they could now price it at $300-350.
