Wii U's CPU was basically the Wii CPU multiplied by three, and that's ok because they were IBM processors and they were all 1 module, 1 core.

AMD doesn't make that kind of processors... unless you think that Nintendo will go with a Zen processor. So (and this is always assuming that those specs are true, something that we don't know), NX CPU is either based on IBM, ARM or Zen.

And of those three options, ARM is the best one if NX has some kind of hybrid functionality. And with the right combination of processors, for example 4 big ones with another 2 LITTLE ones, it could still be more powerful than the Jaguar ones of PS4/X1 in home console mode, and with the CPU configured with two modules of a pair of big ones plus a small one, one of those modules can be turned off in handheld mode to improve battery life.

You're the one who keeps arguing about AMD and brought them up to begin with so AMD not making it still doesn't change anything any of us were saying, NX isn't even a hybrid going the very same rumour we're currently discussing I don't think you've gone over all the information people here are looking at.
