So Whats The Protocol If Nintendo Goes With The Tegra X1 Chip?

Zero chance it is the Tegra X2 unless Nintendo suddenly is going against their entire history of designing hardware. The Gameboy used a processor from the 70's. Gamecube to Wii U were based off a 1998 IBM PowerPC and GPUs from 2000 and 2008 respectively.

Remember - Nintendo follows very closely "lateral thinking of withered technology" when designing hardware, as Gunpei Yokoi called it. The Tegra X1, a rare case where Nvidia sort of flopped, coupled with a 20nm manufacturing process which is very rarely used (and outright skipped by the majority of the market), fits right into the bill.

That is completely baffling how they keep using outdated tech in their consoles but still manage to break the bank in profits. Goes to show how much games matter when everything is said and done.
