Who will provide the NX GPU?

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.

You are mixing the stories. Form the Digital Foundry side of the article:

"There's an additional wrinkle to the story too, albeit one we should treat with caution as it is single-source in nature with a lot of additional speculation on our part. This relates to the idea that the Tegra X1 in the NX development hardware is apparently actively cooled, with audible fan noise. With that in mind, we can't help but wonder whether X1 is the final hardware we'll see in the NX. Could it actually be a placeholder for Tegra X2? It's a new mobile processor Nvidia has in its arsenal and what's surprising about it is how little we actually know about it."

Only one of the dev kits has a fan, one, which is also the one used to speculate about NX using something more powerful than a Tegra X1 (and that confirms that those are not final dev kits).

How does one, from the undisclosed number of sources, dev unit becomes the standard? Oh, I know, internet speculation.

I dont mixing stores, beacue that I wrote this "Its speculated that is overclocked because NX X1 dev kit is actively cooled with with audible fan noise".

If one dev kit is like that, that means all dev kits at that time were same.

According to Yahoo Finance you are wrong. AMD has, according to this "won an order for Nintendo’s upcoming console, codenamed “NX.”" It's interesting how this say's console. All the Tegra articles make a mention about a handheld. These are two different sets of rumors for two different consoles which go under the same code name. ibtimes reported on recent job listings by NoA looking to market a Handheld device and another for a Console.

It seems like a lot of people are behind on the rumors. I think the question should be asking which member of the NX family will be using a GPU provided by whom? Right now, it's all speculation. However a lot of the rumors and reports contradict each other unless we take into the account the possibilities of multiple systems. At this point we start to see a clear picture.

This ^^^^^^^^^^ a thousand times THIS!!! There seem to be quite a few people here discarding the fact that Nintendo is hiring for two separate marketing positions - why would they do this if it were one console? There are very seemingly two separate NX devices, a console and a hybrid, we should probably look at all of the more recent rumors in full rather than dismissing certain pieces.

But guys, what if the code name NX is just Nintendo being lazy and using Nvidia X(insert 1 or 2 here) as the acronym for it? Maybe it was right in front of our faces all along. We just couldn't put the pieces together. Here is another thought though. What if the AMD chip is for the supplemental computing device that we have seen pop up in patents? Maybe while on the go, the thing runs just the NVidia chip, but then when plugged into the dock at home with the supplemental computing device (Which may BE the dock, despite the cloud talk we have seen as well) the more powerful GPU takes over and makes everything just that much more awesome? Just some crazy over the top thinking on my part.

Lastly, I think that the news outlets may be wrong about this detachable controllers so that two peeople can play thing. I think that they may have misinterpreted something that was reported to them, and the detachable parts are actually to make the controller customizable, not to break them off and have two completely separate controllers. Only time will tell, but everything seems to be pointing to the controller just being modular, no patents have come through showing the sides completely coming off. I wish there were a surprise reveal planned for Gamescom, but I fear we will have to wait until next month to learn anything about it. : /

I already answered him on that post.

"We talk about that already and like @Soundwave wrote, it's there speculation based just on AMD contract wins announcement AMD made few months ago, they don't have any actual info or source.

Eurogamer article, all sites and sources that confirmed that article saying NX is hybrid, so basically handheld but with base unit that will be used for playing on TV.

Job listing does not poiniting anything, because Nintendo this holiday season will still have handheld and home console, also Mini NES. It possible that all marketing leaders are moved to NX, and they now need new one for this holiday season.

Actually after Eurogamer release NX article, we had just confirmation of those infos from multiple sources, we didn't had any reliable article or source saying those infos are wrong or with contradictory infos."
