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.

What's interesting there is they have the old Tegra giving about 500 gflops each, which is accurate to real performance. They then have the new chip at 2000 gflops. If that's what NX could produce, it would potentially be a phenomenal system.
