Nvidia cancelled the Tegra project. They are out of mobile SoCs. Their SoC were mediocre anyway, but the rest of the mobile GPUs are simply pathetic. There's no way they will use one of them on a console. It would land closer to Wii U than to the X1. |
They haven't cancelled the Tegra, they have been working on a Parker-based next-gen Tegra successor to the X1 for a while.
The fact that Nvidia hasn't found a different vendor for them other than car manufacturers (which is a niche market for now) is great for Nintendo. That means they could negotiate a price on the chip likely for dirt cheap.
AMD doesn't have experience or anything major really in this tech space, everything they make is for higher end laptops or full blown PC towers, that doesn't scale well to a portable handheld where Nintendo likely will sell the majority of their hardware.
