This is hinging on Nintendo doing a deal with Nvidia though. I'd be ok with a handheld with the capabilities of the Shield. 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.

How would this stack up against the X1 chip that nvidia used in Shield?
