Nintendo needs to keep their tech "SIMPLE". - Being modular flies in the face of that.

They aren't targeting high-end enthusiast gamers here who know what a RAM is... Keep it simple. Make it fast. Let the games shine and all at a fantastic price and they are onto a winner.

Enough with the gimmicks which really add nothing to the experience.

I don't wan't Nintendo to use Tegra... At all. Even it's successor. Yuck.

I don't understand your disgust for Tegra when it's practically the perfect use case for Nintendo since their very power consumption limited in small form factor scenarios and Nvidia has a good recent engineering trackrecord for pushing high perf/watt efficiency ...

AMD hardly even competes in ultra low powered devices and heck, ARM (these guys also design GPUs too) or Qualcomm would make far more sense than AMD ... 

x86 doesn't make much sense either when it's got a noticeable instruction decoder logic overhead that sucks up quite a bit of juice and I know AMD has an ARM license but I doubt the end results will be even as good as the dedicated ARM microarchitecture designers are like those from ARM, Apple, or Qualcomm ...
