So an ARM-SoC more powerful than the PS4-APU? That would be a big leap to the fastest ARM-SoCs available now (Tegra X1 + Apple A9X).

I don't think so.

A costum 8 core ARM CPU based on the ARM Cortex A72 will be faster than the Jaguar cores of the PS4 and Xbox One

The graphic benchmarks of the A72-based Huawei Mate 8 aren't that impressive:

 

 

But if you have benchmarks of other A72-based devices (instead of promises of ARM) feel free to show them.

ARM for a non mobile device? Makes it pretty suspicious right there.

I actually think it makes it seem more believable because the NX is being very influenced on mobile based on the controller and the OS being similar to Andriod.

AMD has an ARM License, it wouldn't be difficult for them to include a couple of ARM cores in conjunction with a beefy GCN GPU.
Jaguar is also very very slow and low power, it's competition is ARM, wouldn't be difficult for a company like AMD to throw 8+ ARM cores into the SoC, the R&D has already been done by AMD.

What's the point of going ARM? They could stick to the POWER architecture and maintain BC. I'm sure IBM with its OpenPower would happily design a costum core for Nintendo.

This.
But I think Price might play a big role... ARM is stupidly cheap, I think AMD would rather push it's x86 cores out though.

These are rumors, take them with a grain of salt.

This would be good, but I don't think it's true. I mean, only good points.

That said, some of the things he mentioned I believe will end up happening (like power).



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I'm looking forward to NX's 8GB RAM like I was looking toward to. PS3'S CD/DVD burner.



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

At this point I'm not believeing anything until Nintendo spills the true tea.
Also, controller screen at 1080p? Sure, Jan



The user who started the rumor exposed himself on reddit. Yup it's fake.

The real question is whether the rumoured NX is more powerful than the rumoured PS4K! That's what we should be discussing now and making dozens of new threads about, there is so much potential there.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Very possible and knowing Nintendo have invested heaps on RnD, they would have found a way to offer great preformance at a cheaper cost.

You're showing me GPU benchmarks for a CPU core?!
