What do you think two Tegra X2's in unison could accomplish (Base NX + A Hypothetical Supplement Compute Device with a second SoC)?
I'm kinda just curious to see how far a company could take these little chips, it's sorta fascinating.
I think the SCD would simply be a second Tegra X2 or maybe the same chip with more CUDA cores or something, Nintendo won't want to pay for an entirely seperate semi-custom design and by putting the same GPU in the SCD, it could lower Nintendo's costs by increasing mass production of the same chip.
Actually it is kinda interesting that the Parker Drive X2 giant board already utilizes two Tegra X2s in tandem, I wonder if their automotive work has forced Nvidia to become more used to multiple processor usage from that and maybe that's also where Nintendo's idea for the Supplemental Compute Device comes from.

I would place two Tegra's X2 at roughly Xbox One levels of imagry to be honest, but with 720P resolution.
I just wan't answers and clear concise ones from Nintendo with a full NX reveal already. Haha

I know it's not the be all end all, but wouldn't two Tegra X2's in unison constitute about 1.25 TFLOP of performance, and if we average out that Nvidia's floating point performance is generally 30% higher, that would put the two at 1.625 TFLOPS in AMD terms.
Maybe if they added say 24-32MB of high speed eDRAM onto the SCD version of the TX2 ... would that change things? That would kinda cancel out the XB1's memory bandwidth advantage.
Where would it be lacking vs a XB1 in that scenario? Surely two X2 units would boost things like the poly count and fillrate?
