Who will provide the NX GPU?

Offcourse it can use older AMD tech in dev kits if they relly go with AMD.

Now almost every product have ARM processor so ARM dev kit today relly isnt problem (also last few Nintendo handhelds are ARM based), but AMD GPU and Nvidia GPU are quite different, especially if we comparing Nvidia mobile Tegra X1 GPU and for instance PS4/XB1 console AMD GPUs, totaly difrent things. So it doesn't make sense, if Nintendo goes with AMD GPU they would you use AMD based dev kits, not Nvidia. It very easy, if you have dev kit of some architecture, its almost certain that product will have that architecture and not some completely different.

I dont have link, that was post of some insader on Neogaf, he just posted that he expecting new dev kit to arrive this month. Also when I already mentioned Neogaf, one reliable user from reliable source stating that NX will use Pascal Tegra chip (so it not just Eurogamer info about Pascal), and that totally have sense beacuse dev kits are overclocked X1 chip (like Eurogamer said).

The way Eurogamer described the dev kits, it makes it impossible to have AMD GPUs. They would need a device with fans, and by the Eurogamer article, only one of the dev kits had it.

What I said was not that they needed the Tegra X1 for its ARM processor, but for its combination of ARM and desktop GPU architecture. That's the key point, the combination of both worlds.

So those new dev kits come rom an insider... ok. If you want to believe it, then good for you, but please don't use it as facts.

Lastly, since when are the Tegra X1 in those NX dev kits overclocked? The Eurogamer article didn't said anything about that.

We talking about dev kits, not final product, even X1 dev kit for NX has fans, that doesnt mean that NX itself will have fans.

Yes, but like I wrote it doesn't make any sense to use Tegra X1 dev kit like combination of ARM and desktop architecture, beacuse Nvidia mobile Tegra X1 GPU and for instance PS4/XB1 console AMD GPUs are totally different things, not to mentione that Tegra X1 is not desktop GPU architecture its mobile architecture.

I didnt use that like fact, I am yet not sure about X2, but I am almost sure about Tegra X1 at least.

Its speculated that is overclocked because NX X1 dev kit is actively cooled with with audible fan noise.
