Will NX be based on a Zen+Polaris APU?

AMD hasn't talked about power consumption before.

When AMD first demoed Polaris back in December, they showed a Polaris based PC vs another one with a GTX 950 Nvidia card and how much power both PCs used. Knowing how much power does a GTX 950 use, they calculated that the Polaris card used around 50W.

As for the rest of your post, pure speculation. We don't even know if Polaris 11 can be undervolted and downclocked up to that point.

Well everything about the NX is speculation at this point, lol. Couldn't they just disable the number of usable CUs in a hypothetical "portable mode"? I don't think it'd be that big of a deal. Of course Nintendo would want a customized chip anyway, even if they liked the Polaris tech they wouldn't just throw it into a box and say "job done" I don't think.

I know that they have sometimes done that with desktop cards, but I don't know if it's done on a BIOS level or if it's something that can be turned on and off that easily.
