Does Nvidia have a 16nm FF+ processor available?
Yes they have to make sure the device doesn't melt at full power, that's kinda where a fan comes in, could be integrated right into the design (a Nvidia Shield even with a fan is still much smaller internally than something the size of a Wii U tablet, which about the size I think NX is going to be).
Or they could integrate the fan into the dock ... I find the concept of the dock kinda weird to begin with because why even have a dock, I'm sure Nintendo could make a wireless HDMI dongle and just stream the signal to the TV like Chromecast. I'm thinking the dock has other purposes, like perhaps acting as a cooling bay for the main unit when docked (thus allowing it to perform at max power).

What do you mean by 16nm "processors" ? They have 16nm GPUs ...
It's a bad idea if you need an active cooling system for mobile devices since that hampers their main advantage of portability ...
Optimal design for home experiences vs optimal on the go are fundamentally at odds with each other ...

I mean the fan would be for home play. Unit operates at a lower passively cooled mode while portable, actively cooled (full power) when docked at home for TV play.
Is there a 16nm Nvidia GPU on the market right now manufactured on 16nm FinFet PLUS (+)? I could be wrong but I don't think there is.
