Yeah AMD has an ARM chip coming out but the first ARM CPU's are being made for servers not sure they have any other plans for them yet.

AMD/Nintendo wouldn't have many problems using those ARM processors for a console as they use the known A57 chips

They could go for the 4-core version and get rid of the extra stuff that's not needed on a console

I don't think it's that easy.



Well, it's not "easy" to pick up THAT processor and remove the parts you don't want, but AMD could develop a "simple", reference based processor based on those same A57 chips for Nintendo.

It's posible but unlikely for this year as AMD are apparently conscentrating on ZEN first.
