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.

Found something that may hint a little more closely at the possible power of the chips...Most likely the ones in the NX will be semi-custom though, so who knows about the numbers regardless haha.

It's hard to get anything from that, specially because it's rated at 250 W and most of its power and performance come from the two Pascal GPUs, not the Tegra X2 chips.

More info about the Drive PX 2 can be found here: http://wccftech.com/nvidia-drive-px2-pascal-gtc-2016/

At least we know the memory bandwidth, around 50 GB/s with Low Power DDR4.
