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. 

 True, Nvidia have shown that they are able more out of less bandwidth when compared with others.

I'm not aware of the SCD patent but could see Nintendo release a home console based on this but with diferent memory solution and of course with higher clocks.
