Found something that may hint a little more closely at the possible power of the chips...Most likely the ones in the NX will be semi-custom though, so who knows about the numbers regardless haha.

I don't appreciate the attitude, multiple sites have reported this, and the exact specs in this here article: http://techfrag.com/2016/08/17/nintendo-nx-tegra-x2/

Don't knock me down if you can't back it up.

"Sources that are working close to the Nintendo NX claim that the chip being used is from Nvidia but it is not the Tegra X1. Right now, the Tegra X2 is not being called the X2 and it is named “Tegra-next” which is likely to be Parker.

The Tegra X1 released last year has four ARM Cortex-A53 cores coupled with Maxwell GPU. Tegra X2 chip on the other hands features four ARM-based Cortex-A57 cores along with two homegrown Denver2 cores. It will feature latest gen Pascal GPU. The same architecture that has been used in the latest Nvidia GPUs, GTX 1080, 1070, 1060 and the Titan X."

Every article I have read and found about the use of Tegra X2 says the same thing. The X2 will use Pascal architecture and will be close to the power of blah blah blah. It doesn't really matter, it is all rumor, but according to most of the articles it is from a source that is "Very Familiar With" the NX, whatever that means. I just didn't appreciate the way that you immediately shot it down without any reading or reasoning to say otherwise. I am going on the articles and news that I have read some of which I have sourced in this thread. There is A LOT of it out there. No one is taking them as gospel, but I am pretty excited about the possibilities. Each article also words it differently, some saying that the X2 would be on par with or a little better than XOne and PS4, and then others stating it would be nearly on par with Neo. No one yet knows the actual specs of the X2 but are using comparable processors to gauge where the power could potentially be.

Until Nintendo or NVidia come out and say something, no one will ever know. Hopefully next month we will know things! This speculation is obviously putting people on edge haha

What's interesting there is they have the old Tegra giving about 500 gflops each, which is accurate to real performance.  They then have the new chip at 2000 gflops. If that's what NX could produce, it would potentially be a phenomenal system.

Please don't use flops in that way.

It's not an accurate denominator for gauging performance, certainly not real-world performance.

Where did you get those 2,000 GFlops from?

The Drive PX 2 has 2xTegra X2 chips and 2xPascal GPUs that together provide 8 TFlops, but we don't know how much of that performance is provided by the GPUs and how much by the Tegras.

Yeah, that's true.  I notice that and then forgot about it.  It could very well be a 1+1+3+3 set up or some other variation.  It does indicate the X2 will have a significant performance boost over X1, I'd suggest at least double.

There are still too many things we don't know to take any conclusions.
