What's NX for Nintendo?

[Soundwave]

I've kinda thought maybe a stackable/expandable console might be interesting.

If the power consumption of the console is low (and it should be if it uses mobile parts) ... who knows, maybe allowing people to eventually daisy chain 2 consoles together might be a feasible idea.

A high speed data port would do it. Then voila a 1 TFLOP console with say 6GB of RAM becomes a 2 TFLOP console with 12GB of RAM. Lets say the base standard NX System-on-Chip gets you about 400 GFLOPs performance ...

So if they have a scalable architecture/chipset, it would really help them.

Portable - 400 GFLOPS (1 NX system-on-chip processor)

Home - 1.2 TFLOPS (3 NX system-on-chip processors)

Home Stacked Console (Two Consoles Link together) - 2.4 TFLOPS (6 NX system-on-chip processors)

If they ever do something like a real VR accessorie this would be help because then one NX console could render the image for each eye, thus giving the overall experience some real horsepower behind it.

And if one NX console only consumes say 15 watts, even two daisy chained together still is a very reasonable 30 watts ... slightly less than the current Wii U. If they use the same system-on-chip they will also get a better price on it and it will scale down in cost more quickly for them.
