I think Nintendo using AMD's FinFet 14nm technology is the key. Maybe that's also why they've specifically been waiting until fall 2016, because really the 3DS honestly could have used a successor this fall as it's shipments are really slowing to a crawl and it will be 5 years old in a few months anyway. If they were just planning to use ho-hum tech they could've launched the portable NX at least this fall.
If all they wanted was something 2x-3x better than a Vita for example, that type of tech is dirt cheap right now.
Fall 2016 lines up perfectly with AMD's 14nm FinFET process getting large scale mass production. Same thing for AMD's HBM2 RAM (high bandwidth memory). Just kinda makes you go "hmmm".
