You got that right, seekingalpha.com is an obscure tech website!!!
It's great when one doesn't even have to counter-argue, you seem to master the infamous internet technique: "Self-Discredit"!

Forgive me for thinking that seekingalpha is obscure, i've literally never heard of them break a gaming related story in all my years following the industry. Furthermore your selective bias is just a means of deflection, you're still not addressing the point that neither purport to know anything about a NX/AMD deal. Seekingalpha link to July article which is based on nothing more than speculation. Unless you care to address this point, I'm comfortable to leave the conversation here.
P.S: I'm truly not invested in whether its AMD or NVIDIA providing the chip for the NX, but I care to be informed on the matter and that means having conversations based on evidence not ones own personal agenda.

My own personal agenda is playing great games, don't care if NX is AMD or Nvidia powered, I don't play chips :o !!!
But when I read that NX is Nvidia powered as a fact, it baffles me. Except baseless rumours from a gaming site that has published "facts" proven wrong afterwards, all written by gaming "journalists" (you know the greatest & most credible breed of journalists out there/s...), nothing points towards Nvidia baking chips for Nintendo. All I see is Nvidia financial reports & AMD financial reports pointing to Nvidia not making semi-custom chips & AMD making plenty of them stating that these are going into undisclosed consoles. Furthermore I read from serious investment & business sites saying that AMD have won the contract to provide Nintendo with their chips, so excuse me if I rather believe that a AMD chip has better chance to power the NX!
Again, I'm not saying it is the case, READ THE OP: AMD looking more & more to be providing silicon for the NX. Never say I that it is a done deal 100% sure; as a matter of fact I don't know who is going to supply Nintendo, but some in here seem to know 100000% sure that it will be Nvidia because Eurogamer said so!!!
I'm not saying that Nvidia won't power NX, just that from I read, AMD seems in a better position.
Fact will be when Nintendo says so, everything written on it, is matter of opinion supported by more or less convincing supposed "leaks". Believe what you will but don't state as a fact what is a rumour, I know I don't, otherwise I would be a gullible idiot!!!
I just want to end this by stating that I don't care for the brand of the chip, I just want it to be competent enough to grant Nintendo's success!
For power & Tflops, I have my PC thank you, from my Nintendo I want what they do best, great games, like the next Zelda is shapping up to be, "come to me chicken, I haven't said my last word"!!!
ps: seekingalpha.com is not obscure, nore it is a tech site, so it would be difficult for you to hear of them breaking a gaming related story, what they know is business & business deals! Quoting:
"Upturn driven by RX 480 GPU, new orders from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, data center server market prospects, and two China joint ventures that boost free cash flow"
"As for second quarter results due shortly, this quarter has historically been a relatively good one for the company. In this calendar quarter AMD has won orders from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo for semi custom chips for game consoles in a segment which is the most profitable for AMD and which normally exhibits higher sales in the second and third quarters."
You can question their sources, I agree with that, I question them too, the same way I question Eurogamer sources!!!
