Just one thing to keep in mind (ATI) or AMD now has been exceptional at keeping secrets and deliberately spreading misinformation. Consider the speculation on their latest card Cayman, that is a nightmare of fake information spread from official levels. |
It's more like they have no choices except AMD. There are only two vendors with capable enough graphics, and Nintendo has used AMD (ATI/ArtX) since the N64, Microsoft can't use Nvidia due to the Xbox 1 issue and Sony can't use them due to the PS3 issue.
I would be skeptical about specs turning up for those consoles, but not who's going to make the card.
Off topic - Yeah Cayman/Barts have been amazingly well obfuscated. No one has any idea of its performance, pricing or shader count.
