Well. Zen and Polaris have taken years of designing, they were taped out 12 months ago, taped-out means that 99% of the hard work has been done. I.E It is a fully working chip.
So it's not hard to imagine it being a possibility, is it likely to happen? Probably not, history tells us that it is unlikely. - I just dislike *all* of AMD"s CPU's currently, none should be used in 2016 in any device, lol.

Yeah well, if Intel wasn't as greedy maybe we could see them used on consoles. But after what happened with the first Xbox, I guess we won't see that.

And the same goes for Nvidia after the Xbox and the PS3.

I don't think it's a case of Intel being greedy anymore (They have cheap processors like Atom and ULP Core-based chips these days.), they aren't exactly overflowing with competent GPU designs like AMD to build a competent SoC designed for gaming though. lol

nVidia (And AMD) probably could, based around ARM, Nintendo could possibly still go down that road with the NX, there were hints of an Android based OS being in play? (Which can run on x86, but that's fairly unheard of.)
