If it's the "latest" 14nm Polaris chips. That thing will be a BEAST on a console. It'll literally lay the smack down on the Neo-PS4 which is apparently using an upgraded Jaguar based chipset so games can be fully compatible between the PS4 and Neo-PS4.

This isn't even a competition. It's a slaughter house. If, and a big IF Nintendo is using Polaris.... The NX is a NEXT generation console. Full 9th gen console. In addition to that, it can easily stream 4k at 60fps. So... yeah... graphic whores will be jacking off when this comes out. This isn't a small upgrade like the PS3/360 to the PS4/XBO. This is a generation upgrade as we know it in previous generations.

I'll believe it when I see it. I won't lie, I am a little excited with the possibility. If the NX won't be sold at a lost... The thing will be between $399 to $499... and it's going to sell well with the hardcore. It'll all be dependant on the gimmick, but if they are going this route. I'd expect it will be a normal console with the gimmick being optional. This sounds like an all in bet, much like Sony did with the PS4.

Uhm... Jaguar is a CPU architecture, Polaris is a GPU architecture. It's been speculated the PS4 NEO could also use a Polaris GPU.

Totally different things here.
