Jokes on all of you, its for the Vita TV 2

At this point, idk what the NX will have. We will know if Eurogamer's rumors are true if the NX gets announced in September. If it doesn't, I don't think Eurogamer's rumors will be true.

It's very interesting for sure. AMD's third win obviously can't be just one of the slims (it's either both or neither), so what else is there? Also, we know that Dave has a verified source but supposedly his AMD/NX reasoning is based only on logic and news that he's uncovered. Makes you wonder though if perhaps he does actually have some insider info in reality.



Remember how the 3DS was going to use a Tegra and then switched? Emily and Eurogamer might not be wrong since the NX could still had been using a Tegra at some point but switched. At the end of the day, Nintendo will choose whatever it think is best for themselves and that could be anything.

It's definitely possible. An AMD mobile chipset would probably be cheaper than Tegra since AMD is desperate for deals and Nvidia isn't.

On the other hand AMD haven't been doing that well in the performance-per-watt department for a while as both, intel and nvidia have been able to outperform AMD with more energy efficient designs. Things keeps geting more interesting

I believe he's right -- then again, I never believed in the Nvidia/hybrid rumors to begin with (or more like I didn't want to believe them). As for the handheld, there's rumors that DMP is involved with it (which would make a hell of a lot more sense than Nvidia) and the Nvidia chips were just used as a placeholder until DMP could get their new stuff out to market.



I thought those AMD wins were systems releasing this year: XBO Slim, PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
