That's not what it says:

"I haven't received a message from the mods, but in the meanwhile: to clear one thing up, some genuine leakers have said ARM, some have said x86, the NX is using both but one for the home console and one for the upcoming handheld. In essence, the ARM architecture is a small piece of the overall NX home console and specifically done to port handheld games to the Home console, not the other way around. Devs are not forced to create games for it."

Basically NX handheld has an ARM processor while the NX home console have an x86 processor for its own games but also an ARM one to play the handheld games.

Then it's worth the addition as it gives the console a unified library.

Is it?

Why spending more money and making the console more expensive with the adition of that ARM processor if the x86 processor could emulate it with no extra cost?
