I would not honestly mind if the NX is basically just a chip like this, this is roughly 15x more powerful than a Vita. Not only that but the A9X has a monstrous amount of memory bandwidth for a portable device at 50GB/sec. |
It won't be, largely because Apple isn't going to license this chip out and will keep it for themselves.
The other reason is because no one wants a melting handheld with a half hour of battery life when put under any moderate load; the NX handheld will have a considerably smaller screen than the iPad Pro as such also doesn't need this sort of throughput, Nintendo will go for something efficient and proven but capable of easily outperforming the Vita at ~540 in 15:9.
