Just one of many. Lisa Su was talking about three semi custom gaming chips. Speculation like at arstechnica.com was that NX might get a seperate chip for the controller. But that's just that, speculation.

I stand corrected. I still don't think this indicates NX when there are reports that directly contradict it from reliable sources. The different sources have come out saying it's Nvidia.

Well, AMD has three different gaming chips. There might as well be another customer. But AMD has ARM designs as well, so NX could be from AMD without being x86.

All those reports of Nvidia seem to come from semiaccurate. Or at least from the same source. At the same time sources point at AMD, with AMD definitely having three different designs for gaming.
