So basically based on nothing. Quite possible that DMP spurned by Nintendo for Nvidia also simply said "fine, we'll just make our own device", the way that's on their website implies it's some shitty low budget tablet. 

Getting back to Tegra/Parker, Nvidia apparently said today the Parker/Tegra can get up to 1.5 TFLOPS, but they are obviously talking about FP16 mode there, so that would mean 750 GFLOPS in more standarad FP32. 

750 GFLOPS .... welp. If they can deliver that in "docked/home power" mode I'll take it I guess. Shitty home performance given all things but at least it's a reasonable upgrade on the Wii U and not the GameCube to Wii all over again. I guess it could be the whole "Nvidia flops are 30% better than AMD flops" thing, lol, in which case, the reports of it being a little less than an XB1 would kinda line up exactly. 

Your speculation is also based on nothing from that hotchips conference so your guess is only as good as my guess! 

DMP showing ill will because Nvidia secured one of Nintendo's contract ? LOL, this is a small company we're talking about here that was initially a nobody before Nintendo licensed their gfx IPs and is still a nobody even after then so how off base can you get to claim that a business holds these irrational feelings when they exist to take every immediate opportunity ? 

750 GFLOPS for maybe a microconsole like how the SHIELD console was able to deliver it's full 500 GFLOPS from the Tegra X1 ... 

Except they won't be able to deliver that performance at least not in the same system when you need active cooling to achieve peak performance ...
