This will become fact only when Nintendo announce NX, but like I wrote, at this point with infos we having its very obvious and its almost certain that NX will have Nvidia not AMD.

And what happens if you're wrong? Are we going to hear an apology for spreading misinformation as fact?

Lol, why I would apology!? I didn't wrote EG article and I didnt confirmed their story, I just brining obvious things here that people from some reason don't see or dont want to see.

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.

We talked about possibility that Nintendo go with Nvidia for handheld and AMD for home console, something like that doesnt make any sense when Nintendo wants unifed platform.

Of Course that AMD could make ARM with their graphic, but hardly so much efficient like X1 or X2 are. All infos points Nintendo made deal with Nvidia, and apparently Nintendo made very good deal.
