The max I can see Nintendo going is with a Tonga/Antigua chip.

Not only is the chip more power efficient than previous AMD designs, but thanks to being GCN 1.2 it features the newer color compression tech and, while it's not used in the consumer cards, retains the 384-bit memory controller of Tahiti, so Nintendo could go with DDR4 memory and still have an acceptable bandwidth.

But unless Nintendo has really changed back to the old N64/GameCube days, I doubt they'll go as far.

I don't think they would go with Tonga if they decided to go that high (Tongas/Antiguas are 3-4TFLOPS) - even mobile versions of those chips have pretty high TDP (125W).

My guess is they would need 14nm if they're jumping into that range, and that's brand new tech and they are Nintendo...maybe something changed in their strategy, but I'm not holding my breath.

That 125W figure isn't completely reliable. Looking at the specs of those parts at wikipedia, the M390X, M395 and M395X all have a 125W TDP, but their specs and frequencies are different. I'm sure the M395 running at 700 MHz would be around 100W or *maybe* even less. After all, when used in a console those parts usually run slower, also reducing the power consumption.

Not that I think Nintendo will use it, tho. It's just what I think is the max of what we can expect from them.
