Who will provide the NX GPU?

That said, we're still in the same situation because that link of your says nothing about the performance of the Tegra X2. They said which ARM cores it will have, but it doesn't say anything about the frequency of those cores and what's the difference between the Denver 2 cores and other ARM products.

At the same time, while it will feature Pascal architecture instead of Maxwell, we don't know how many cores it will have and the frequency they'll run at.

Lastly, the article doesn't even claim that NX will use Tegra X2, it only says that a report (without stating which one or providing a link to read it) says that it will use it.

Every article I have read and found about the use of Tegra X2 says the same thing. The X2 will use Pascal architecture and will be close to the power of blah blah blah. It doesn't really matter, it is all rumor, but according to most of the articles it is from a source that is "Very Familiar With" the NX, whatever that means. I just didn't appreciate the way that you immediately shot it down without any reading or reasoning to say otherwise. I am going on the articles and news that I have read some of which I have sourced in this thread. There is A LOT of it out there. No one is taking them as gospel, but I am pretty excited about the possibilities. Each article also words it differently, some saying that the X2 would be on par with or a little better than XOne and PS4, and then others stating it would be nearly on par with Neo. No one yet knows the actual specs of the X2 but are using comparable processors to gauge where the power could potentially be.

Until Nintendo or NVidia come out and say something, no one will ever know. Hopefully next month we will know things! This speculation is obviously putting people on edge haha

The problem with those articles is that they are based on nothing.

I don't know if you're a PC gamer or follow the news about new graphics cards, but the situation is similar: one site post a rumor about an upcoming product, then another site makes an article about that product using the info from the first site as a source, after that another one does the same claiming "several sources" (the first and second site), and from there it's a snowball going downhill.

What we know from the Eurogamer article is that Tegra X1 seems to be the processor that will power the NX, and that would make it more powerful than PS360 & Wii U, but far from the PS4/X1. And if they go with a Tegra X2, the situation will be better, but it won't change that much.
