We pretty much know they're using AMD tech because of what AMD has said about their "design wins" and Nintendo would be dumb to release with outdated AMD tech when they're going up against PS4 and PS4K Neo. Only way it doesn't use Polaris/Zen is if Nintendo decided to go with ARM for unified console/handheld reasons, but honestly if they went with ARM the console is going to be quite weak, likely weaker than PS4, let alone PS4K Neo, possibly even weaker than XB1, which would not be a good position to be in if they want ports of current gen 3rd party games. |
ARM A72 is noticeable stronger than XB1/PS4 CPU, even ARM A57 could be stronger.
