1. Article is from May.
2. Article is speculating based on design wins that AMD announced.
3. AMD did not confirm if the design win was for Nintendo. esp given that PS4 Neo and Scorpio count as new design wins.

In other words, this thread is misleading and should be closed.

All true - but also nVidia also hasn't announced any new design wins related to gaming. We know for a fact AMD has at least 3 as well as confirming other semi-custom wins.

Thread title is misleading - but not worth closing this whole thread over.

That doesnt mean anything espacily because is very obvious nintendo have very tight NDA on NX.

All 3 point ZhugeEX wrote are clear facts, in if this thred want be close they need to be in OP.

The thread title is factually incorrect. 

Who knows what CPU/GPU the NX will use. It could be AMD, could be Nvidia, it could even be some random company we've never heard of. 

 

But the title for this thread and the article are factually incorrect and have not been confirmed by Nintendo or AMD. The article is also 3 months old.  Hence why this thread should be closed.

Article is from May = sounds like BS. 

At that time people just assumed Nintendo was one of AMD's chip wins.

NX console March 2017 = AMD
NX handheld November 2017 = Nvidia

Been saying this for awhile now, and the evidence continues to pile up

And with what is Nintendo going to support both with?

They can't even support a Wii U and 3DS, now magically they're going to support two discreet HD platforms? 

Nintendo can do that, they will just not have much of a future left in the business as Sony/MS will pick that apart. 

And no unified platform, would make zero sense to not use a Nvidia GPU for the console too if they were doing that ... it's not like AMD is some hot shit anyway, Nvidia makes equal/better GPUs than them.

Yeah nothing like spending $600 on two pieces of hardware that don't even measure up to the Playstation 4 Neo most likely just to play the same 15 Nintendo franchises.

Don't you guys realize? The NX will have ALL the rumored chips.

there is zero sense for nintendo to go with different architectures when they going with unified platform.

You're thinking too big!
