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.

There's a difference between concentrating on something and doing only that.

Besides, AMD announced that they had won a design win for a console all the way back to December 2014

so whatever Nintendo uses, AMD has been working on that for quite some time.
