The Parker has two Pascal Tegra chips on it (aka the Tegra X2), so that's why people are keying on it. 

It looks like Tegra X2 isn't a huge performance boost over X1, but there likely are decent energy savings, architecture improvements, and the big difference is Tegra X2/Pascal can have 50GB/sec of memory bandwidth on a 128-bit bus, whereas Tegra X1 only can do half that. 

Memory bandwidth is key for gaming. 

everytime nvidia speaks it makes eurogamers nvidia rumor less likely imo o.o

Not really, Nvidia is not going to say anything until Nintendo announces it. But even then you can see on one of the Parker/Pascal Tegra slides ... "Gaming Applications" are mentioned specifically aside from automotive. 

Now why does this Tegra need to have bandwidth for "gaming applications". Hmmm. 

Also it's not just Eurogamer, MCV, IGN, and Wall Street Journal all confirm with their own sources. MCV's source has even seen the system running apparently. 

The same Wall Street Journal source also called the PS4 Slim early, and that's pretty much now confirmed too.
