Does AMD make a chip that is as power efficient/powerful as the X1? But if Nintendo makes a deal with Nvidia to be their hardware people maybe they could get a deal to get GRiD streaming available for their next console. So it wouldn't be the worst thing if Nintendo finds a way to make this their handheld. |
They do.
First, AMD also produces ARM Chips, although they use them for small servers.
Second, there are the E2-micro, A4-micro and A10-micro. Especially the latter, A10-micro 6700T, an x86-64 APU, is a quadcore which clocks at 1.2 Ghz base and 2.2 Ghz Turbo and GCN graphics (2CU, for comparision the Xbox ONE has 12 and the PS4 has 18) while only having a TDP of 4.5W and was actually designed for Tablets. Might be slightly slower but not by very much.
