There was a rumor recently of NX using a 3.6 tflop AMD GPU and that matches perfectly with an underclocked RX 470. |
If the rx480 is under 95w, guessing a cutdown of the new 470 would be under 75. Take the disc drive out and Nintendo has a sleek and powerful console ala gamecube but will feature masculine colors this time.
Worst case if Nintendo went with the rx460, that would be the equivalent of Wii U to the previous gen consoles. But rx470 and rx480 are legit solutions now for Nintendo to future proof and compete without breaking the bank vs4pro & Scorpio, & 480 performance would sit right in the middle.. No excuses now, this would be a terrible time to go all in on mobile tech for some convoluted hybrid solution.
