Looks like it'll be a bit before Nintendo is rumored to finally unveil their console.

Well it is not confirmed "dude". It is speculation at best so far. It would be great if they end up using it, but Nintendo has a history with lower end components to ensure profitability from the get go.Next gen Tegra x2 is pretty cutting edge component dude. More so than the CPU / GPU in Neo.
I think that's kinda his point lol.
What if the handhelds/controllers are X1, but the base station X2?
A Tegra X1 is a huge jump from the 3DS.
For smartphones lolAccording to him it's one of the best cards last generation had to offer.
I had no idea nvidia was working on a x2 chip. I'm guessing a customized X1.According to Eurogamer, the X1 chips in NX dev kits are overclocked, so it's very likely to be an X2 chip in the final product or at the very least an improved version of the X1.
At the end of the day it's indeed all speculation on unconfirmed reports, but Eurogamer and Kotaku sure seem to believe it. Both are not exactly some no name websites either. But from here on i am not going to expect anything really. Let's just hope Nintendo finally stops with the silence in September.
500 GFLOPS is like 2 Xbox 360s duct taped together.

Then two PS3 duct taped together. That one was using Nvidia. :3Nvidia flops are actually better. So about 4.
There's no space for another traditional console in the market, that's the harsh reality.
This is basically Nintendo saying, "Fuck, you can keep yopur stagnating core console market" and focusing on handheld, using an unified system that will streamline their resources on one device instead of two.
So, what's the actual NX chip?
I think his issue is that what DF is reporting is very likely going to be completely inaccurate.And mine too, unless he knows something I don't see the point of criticizing DF for reporting what their sources told them.
They clarified that the X2 comment was 100% speculation on their part.

The problem isn't that Eurogamer made the report saying it's a hybrid Tegra controllers detach ect...
The problem is Digital Foundry bills this as a spec analysis when it isn't an actual spec analysis of the NX cause they have no fucking clue what the actual chip is.
This is no better than someone just reposting say Anandtech's Nvidia Shield TV and Pixel C benchmarks and calling it a day.
What makes it doubly worse is people tend to look to DF as somewhat of an authority on these matters.
I think the chance of a Tegra 2 is pretty low. The price difference would be huge
It would prolly cost nintendo 25 bucks extra

Which might be a lot of they want to keep the costs low.
Tegra X2 seems like a pipedream. Wouldn't developers be made aware of such a fact? My overall take is that it seems to be a decently powered 3DS successor but as far as console gaming goes, I'm just not interested in what the rumors are indicating.
Lol we gonna run out of tape.Those Nvidia flops are completely different from this ones. About 8 ps3 gpus would be right.
If the devkits uses an X1, we can have an idea of the relative performance of the device, that's what the video is for.
Not a full detail of NX specs.
Do devices end up with better hardware than devkits?If the devkits uses an X1, we can have an idea of the relative performance of the device, that's what the video is for.

The base station could add active cooling so the chip can run at a higher clock speed.
Do devices end up with better hardware than devkits?
I can;t disagree with that man. Not everything DF says is gospel but some people do seem to think so, more or less.
It really is just damn time Nintendo simply starts talking. Why wait at all really? Afraid the competition will steal their idea? Yeah..fat chance, really really fat chance. August would be nice, but i think September is a safer bet.
For $25 for double the power though... Lower the quality on that handheld screen to save the money back.
No, they wouldn't because it wouldn't change their pipeline too much. It's not been uncommon for pre-release dev kits to get more powerful over time.

Eh, I think they would be made aware that the final console would have different hardware, so that they can target their games appropriately.
Why wouldnt it be X2? Makes the most sense
cost
would be hard keeping it under $250-300 unless they plan to sell at a loss again
