Since they need to make a "fusion" concept handheld along with the consol.
What are the chances they go with a advance processing node for developement of the chips?

They made the Wii U on 45nm... when I think 28nm could have been possible at the time.
Which limits what they can make and still keep it "very low noise friendly" so moms dont complain about noise of the consols.


Who wants to bet this time Nintendo, go with 28nm instead of doing something like 16nm FinFETs ?
I really want nintendo to do well on the next one, and it starts with them accepting they need to pack quite a punch into their handheld version (so it doesnt limit too much the consol version of games).

The best way to do that, is by useing the most advanced node of manufactureing they can pick.
Yet something tells me Nintendo will cheap out and go with a older node next gen again.


It would be super fun to design a consol... I wish I was in a position to make that a reality.
"this consol is made by fans, for the fans" :)
