I'm not saying whether or not Nintendo is using AMD. I'm saying a die shrink is not a new design. In addition your misconceptions about die shrinks you also seem to have a false impression what companies can say to their shareholders. You continually imply that AMD is making up stuff to snow their shareholders which is illegal. Even layman know a die shrink of a design you already sold a customer is not a new design win. You seem to let your disdain for AMD color your judgments. 

I work in the investing business, lol you have no idea what companies try to pull and hide in their returns. AMD is not saying anything illegal by any stretch of the imagination. Were you around for the XBox One S design? Do you know the work put into it?

"Semi-custom design" win is whatever AMD wants it to be, it's not even an industry accepted term that every company uses. It also depends on the contract AMD had with MS, if the XBox One S design required a new contract, then that also by that merit can be a "new design win" for AMD which will earn them revenue for another 3-4 years. It's entirely possible shriking that fat ass wad of eSRAM for example required a shit ton more design work than a regular die shrink. 

AMD has no obligation to "tell it like it is" to some video game enthusiasts on a message board. 

There isn't one credible source linking AMD to Nintendo NX.

You seem pretty sure of what NX will be, why don't you put money where your mouth is? Come & play the Crow game: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=220345&page=1#

I believe that NX is more than just 1 hardware, more like a platform, with a home console being revealed soon (AMD) & a handheld later on (DMP).

Well point of unified platform with multiple devices is to have same architecture not difrent ones.

What's the chances of one being for Apple? The Macbook Air range in particular may need a custom chip to reach the 15watt performance of its predecessors and Apple are with AMD/polaris for its future GPUs

I don't think Macbook Air can be called gaming device

I remember Nintendo talking about NX being not one device but family of devices. I think NX console (Wii U successor) will be released in March and handheld (3DS successor) will be released somewhere around 2017 holiday season

That I don't know... Obviously, IDK if it's a fake or not, but since it is said to be taken of the Dev Interface, I guess it should be easier to prove true or debunk!
