Nintendo NX rumored to use Nvidia's Pascal GPU architecture

Considering the state of both systems in Japan, I expect the 3DS version of DQ11 to perform better than the PS4 version over there, most likely significantly. And considering how the market there works, if 11 will be on NX as well, it'd make more sense to predict the majority of the series' audience would move there.

Well, safe or not, AzaK's fate is in the hands of one Andi Skende ; )

Financial briefing, above. Any word on increased Tegra projections may be in here.

It's sarcasm. It has to be.
If games like Heroes, Heroes 2 or Builders had been DS, Wii or 3DS projects back in their heyday and sold as little as they have on PS4 they'd have been ridiculed as clear failures. SE is trying hard with DQ on PS4 but it hasn't really paid off so far.
Is it not the guy who went Silicon Graphics -> ATI/AMD -> Nvidia?(AKA the guy who would have worked with Nintendo on N64 and Gamecube)
If they don't announce anything about a partnership then this will be debunked I guess. So at best a downsized, supercharged and overclocked Pica 200 GPU?
I'm a man of the people.
No. Just I asked our bro and was told he would be shocked if anything Nintendo came up.

AMD was coy even though their Scorpio and Neo wins were all but known, until their partner(s) themselves spilled the beans. Of course Nintendo wouldn't allow Nvidia to be the one to spill the NX beans.
For reference AMD filed it under "two x86 gaming wins and one ARM win outside of gaming" or something like that, at most I'd expect a line like that from Nvidia. If anything probably just an increase in Tegra projections.
It'll use some PowerVR and ARMv7-based SoC from 5 years ago, trading blows with Vita.
It was mainly about if they'd announce that they'll have a partner for a custom Tegra chip. They didn't, so Dave is going to make a video tonight or tomorrow declaring victory and that Tegra is completely de-confirmed.

They don't need to spill the beans on anything, just saying that they are working with Nintendo or have a done license agreement on a future/unknown product they have
Nah, they will release a supercharged 3DS and call it Nintendo DSX and we will like it

Jen-Hsun Huang just mentioned next generation gaming consoles being exciting for a boost in power and efficiency, though I think it may have been meant for the Neo/Scorpio in that they'll also increase PC graphics use.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
With those patents along with the SCD, I'm now firmly in the camp of $149 hybrid in March with a more powerful dock coming late next year or in 2018.
Today's patents are brilliant in how they'd keep costs incredibly cheap.

I should try to keep in check any hype I may have created, I'm 80% sure he was talking about Scorpio and Neo, though it could have been a glib reference to NX too.

I'm just having fun.
This isn't the first time they've mentioned consoles this year. I found it suspicious when they did it at the GTX 1080 event. It really sounds like they're up to something.
He specifically named Xbox and PlayStation and how they are much closer to PC now which has expanded the footprint for developers etc

"To cars to computers"

"to even a brand new"
hmm
"integrated"
uhhhh
"high performance box"
oookkkk
"for compute we call DGX"
...I should have known.

I completely agree and that's basically what I was saying.
No need to do "leaks" to know nothing will happen there
I was literally tripping my ass off at the same moment thinking he was gonna out their partnership with Nintendo. I was severely let down lol.

Wow, not NX related, but it's quite a change of pace to hear him sing Intel's praises, remember the "about to open a can of whoop-ass on Intel" from a few years ago
Especially after their big partnership with IBM CPUs, him calling Intel the worlds best and that no one comes close to their processor craft, lol

He's quite the clown, isn't he. I deeply respect the engineering prowess of his organisation, but the guy himself is a bozo.
I only calculated 1.9x in an ideal non-VR scenario.

I was referring to his public appearances. As whether he knows his tech - perhaps he knows the tech from late '90s. He's neither an architect nor a fellow. The guy's been a CEO for decades. A very comic one at that.

"Wanted to talk about Pascals competition, or at least...What would be competition from Polaris"
Yikes, shots fired, lol
I think you're selling him short. He has a masters of engineering and as CEO I'm sure he keeps on top of most things pertaining to GPU tech. He may not be as in depth as the engineers down in the trenches anymore, but I'm sure he knows his stuff. Nvidia has the hallmarks of an engineer led company, one who helped found the very industry. The company didn't keep getting led into success accidentally.
I do find his public appearances varyingly awkward and entertaining though, lol.

Here we go, "Are you finding new opportunities for Tegra"
*audience murmur*
So far answering with self driving cars...
Damn, not even a hint. Well, unless you count the clear swerve as a hint.
