Detailed specs this early? Fake. Besides that, Ninty's next console will be x86.


or ARM.


Well, it is a possibility. The problem is that ARM is made thinking about power consumption, so the clock-performance rate is terrible. Even the most powerfull ARM isn't much competitive to a Celeron in CPU power, let alone a next gen (I mean PS5 and company) CPU that will pack a punch maybe much higher than high end Core i7 CPUs we have today.

EDIT: Here we have some benchmarks on Phoronix. Tegra 3 loses easily to Exynos and this one loses for Atoms. i3 crushes them all. Of course, we have Tegra 4 and new Exynos now, but probably they wouldn't do much better against newer Atom and iX processors.

That's it. The future of ARM seems to be mobile processors. I have an Exynos 5  (running Linux) in a chromebook and it is absolutely rubbish, even with ChromeOS, which takes nothing to run. It pales in comparison to even the most basic Celeron.

But yeah, FAKE.
