Tegra X1 successor Detailed by Nvidia (likely NX SoC)

For a mobile chip it sounds like a pretty kick ass chip, likely the best in class (though Apple's A10x may have something to say about that).

For a home console chip though ... it's definitely no XB1 or PS4, so y'know I guess whether you are happy about this will depend on your POV.

Yeah if it uses this chip it will be a great portable console, but i think Mobile SoC's are still bandwidth limited which is probably one of the reasons Nvidia stuck with 256 CUDA cores

I think Nintendo will go for th 128-bit bus which would give them 50GB/sec and Nvidia's tiling based rendering might help reduce bandwidth needs a lot, but yeah seems like they're stuck at 256 CUDA cores. 

Would be interesting if the SCD patent is actually a real thing and it can link up two Tegra X2s in unison, I'd be curious to see what type of games such a little unit could pump out. 

It is a hell of a portable chip though no doubt about, how close Nintendo can get it to 100% clock speed is the question. The Google Pixel C tablet runs the Tegra X1 at 80% clock and it can run for 4-5 hours running the T-Rex graphics demo, which isn't bad.
