AMD looking more & more to be providing silicon for the NX

I am not even sure where people are coming up with this AMD stuff except wishful thinking "cuz Sony n Microsoft done it."

The NX isn't going to be like a Sony or Microsoft console, Nintendo has already confirmed that it's going to be something different, and something that isn't competing for power against PS or XB platforms. We also know that Nintendo unified their handheld and TV box hardware teams into one, so we can expect the learnings of both teams to be applied.

It can be deduced that Nintendo would develop some sort of hybrid console, we already did that on this site. The best fit for such a console is the Tegra chipset. AMD would be inferior.

Eurogamer is the top source of reliable information on the industry. They have resources and sources with developers to acquire information about upcoming platforms, such as the NX. They have confirmed from their own sources that indeed the Dev kits are using the Nvidia Tegra X1. This is exactly in line with what we could all deduce from the information Nintendo has given about the next platform.

There is absolutely no reason to think the plans are for anything else at this time. The only justification I am hearing is "Nintendo is known to lie, AND Eurogamer can't be trusted! While what I am saying is not fact, it is my opinion." In other words, people are being ridiculous with their arguments that AMD and not Nvidia are providing the chipset.

Just because Nintendo is working with these guys since the N64 era: Silicon Graphics-> ArtX-> ATI-> AMD until WiiU, "itz nut wishful thinkin' cuz MS & Sony done it"! You are implying that I want it to be AMD because of Sony & MS consoles being powered by AMD, saying what, that I'm somewhat jelly??? I have had Nvidia & AMD graphic cards in my PCs, so be at rest on that matter ;P . Again, I don't care the brand of the silicon, I play games!!!

On Eurogamer: they have been wrong before, they will be in the future, they may be right on this, others are saying otherwise, believe who you want, just don't state it as a fact or disrespect others opinions, I don't disrespect yours, we can't all agree on everything & we musn't, just don't bully your opinions on others who don't share your point of view... While I'm more inclined to believe the AMD rumours, I have my doubts about them too, but I have even more doubts about Nvidia supplying silicon for NX... time & Nintendo will have the final word, until then it does not take my sleep away & it won't if NX ends up being Nvidia powered!!!

I just wish people could have a more relaxed state of mind when discussing gaming, we're all gamers, we share the same hobby, we can be passionate about our preferences without bullying others, to everyone: CHILL OUT GUYS!!! WE ALL GO BACK TO STAR DUST!!! AMD or Nvidia, Nintendo, Sony, MS or PC, man or woman, white, black or yellow...
