Clear fact is that cites just now beginning to bring that Yahoo speculation from May and that numerous cites now included now that infos now without any source or some kind of confirmation.

On other hand we have Eurogamer article from two weeks ago that saying NX using Nvidia and infos that Eurogamer wrote are confirmed buy Wall Street Journal, IGN, Kotaku and MWC, also SemiAccurate and Digitimes also stated that NX using Nvidia, and it was also confirmed buy some leakers.

Didn't Eurogamer also confirm that 3DS was going to go with Nvidia too? That didn't pan out.

Yes, but their report on 3DS came much farther away from launch (16 months), and wasn't backed up by mutiple other sources the way this report on NX has been. Plus, they ran the 3DS speculation through Digital Foundry initially, whereas this NX report was pushed as a news story from EG itself, rather than a speculative technical piece from DF.

In addition, Nvidia have now confirmed there will be no new Shield tablet device, which strengthens the suggestions Nvidia have won a major contract for Tegra and that the device in question would be NX. Nintendo have the potential to shift tens of millions of units of NX, which is far above what another Shield tablet would sell. Plus, recently filed patents show the detachable controllers for a portable device concept EG were claiming as NX's core idea. Granted Nintendo don't use every patent they file, but it shows that EG have had solid information about whatever's going on in Nintendo's R&D.

We should find out next month, but I think Eurogamer are mostly right.
