Hm, wondering what that "noticeable amount" is...15-30% is not really that much, but if that's what they're going for, then I guess NX GPU might be very similar to PS4's, just without 2CUs disabled and with somewhat higher clock.

Nintendo usually leans towards GPU-heavy designs, so if the CPU is 15-30% better, the GPU could be in the range of 30-40% higher than the PS4. Someone on NeoGaf was talking in the 2.5 TFLOP range.

Which is a lot of power for a Nintendo machine but on the other hand it's nothing terribly special for late 2016. 

Nintendo is probably aiming for something that can give them 1080p + 60 fps without too much hassle, 2.5 TFLOPS ought to do it. 

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was describing - 7870 (Pitcairn XT) with all CUs running at 1000MHz is 2.5TFLOPS...though, given the number of ACEs, PS4 looks more like Hawaii Pro (R9 290) cut in half, then 2CUs disabled, but more or less similar thing...anyway, my guess is, if Nintendo haven't decided to go berserk and get the latest from AMD, NX tech could be very similar to PS4s, just with full GPU, maybe newer CPU part and higher clocks.
