Eurogamer, IGN, MCV, Wall-Street Journal, and Emily Rogers are all confirming the same thing basically. 

There is no reliable source pointing to AMD other than SuperMetalDave's wishful thinking. 

Again not even sure why AMD is held is such high esteem ... Nvidia products pretty much always benchmark higher from what I've seen. 

AMD delivers good GPU's but terrible drivers for windows, they score better lately. Anyways PC benchmarks for graphical cards don't equal those  on console, mainly due to the dedicated API. Besides graphical cards are more than flops.

Nvidia being a much bigger company that's much more successful likely also flat out has better engineers. 

Other discussions I've seen on NeoGaf are interesting too, like the tiling aspect of Nvidia's tech (Pascal) could allow Nintendo to use much less embedded DRAM or other kind of high speed RAM. Right now they need to use a big chunk with AMD (32MB on Wii U), on Nvidia perhaps its possible they can get something similar performance wise with much less eDRAM, which would free up a lot of die space which is vitally important for hardware power. 

For a hybrid device that needs to run fairly high-end-ish video games, that alone could be a game breaker for Nintendo. Bandwidth is one of the key issues with mobile chips.
