OK, all you're writting is fact, everyone else not agreeing with what you wrote is wrong... got it!
Good day to you sir!

Only fact that I said is a fact is that Nintendo wants unified platform and going with two different architecture with unified platform doesn't make any sense.

Well, most mobile games work the same on different ARM-SoCs (Tegra, Snapdragon, Exynos, Kirin, Mediatek, OMAP, Apple A5/6/7/8/9...) and on different graphic cores (Adreno, Geforce Tegra, Mali, SGX...), so it ain't impossible if some NX-versions would come with AMD-ARM-SoCs.

The big question is: can AMD offer ARM-SoCs that are as efficient as the best other SoCs of the competition? If Nintendo wants a device, which is both powerful and mobile, it has to be energy efficient. If AMD can't deliver that (yet), it doesn't matter how good the relations between Nintendo and AMD are.

It's the same as the PS4 and Xbox One: Sony and Microsoft wanted a x86-APU and Nvidia can't deliver that due to the lack of a x86-license. So they were automatically out of the race.
