Made a thread about it a bit earlier but never gained any traction, so I'll post it here as well as it could relate to whatever tech NX might end up using.
It seems Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo are concerned with Globalstar's TLPS proposal/plans (to use its' satellite spectrum for terrestrial services) so they are in talks with FCC and its' legal advisors.
Been browsing the FCC records and stumbled upon these:
Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo letter to FCC chairman and commissioners (June 2016) and again by the end of June, Nintendo Ex Parte.
Maybe Nintendo is extra-worried because NX relies on its' streaming tech?

Curious.
Ignoring the question tells a lot on the importance of it. silence can be info to.

Huang is a bright guy but as time has gone on his public persona has devolved into lots of buzzword bingo and PR speak.
His last answer about Tegra was a careful avoidance of the question. Take that as you will. Jetson was a huge part of the answer and it's a practically non-existent part of their business.

The Wii U uses the 5GHz frequency for its streaming, I believe. So at least that wouldn't be affected.

Guy: So any Tegra wins recently?
Jen-Hsun:
Hmm. Avoiding talking about a certain win or avoiding talking about a last minute loss again. With the Eurogamer article so recent it seems like the former, but Nintendo has also dumped them before. But this late in the game?
Swerve? I'm going with swerve. And the winning kind.

A yes, good point.

You mean like I've been saying this whole time while everyone is insisting on 540p 5-inch screen?
A Nintendo handheld that can't fit into my pocket sounds like a terrible idea. I want to play Pokémon on the go without carrying a backpack
6 inches can fit if you can do something about the controllers.

Well, I bet that it's more important for them there than in any console, especially a Nintendo one. Nintendo deal is unlikely to bring them much money.
A Nintendo handheld will sell more than any device Tegra will be in sans a Samsung phone.
His response really made no sense. basically asked if they had gotten more wins beyond the PX2. He basically goes on a tangent about How Automotive wouldn't exist without Tegra and how important Tegra is. None of it was even close to what was asked.

Some of the stuff he's said on stage is unbelievable.
He surely has had his part for where NV is today, I'm far from questioning that. But the products of an engineering company are traditionally produced by its engineers. Guys like Kirk are the ones who've born those products on their shoulders (or anybody from the left column on that page, for that matter), not Jen-Hsun.

Yeah but shit margins if they had to bid low to get the contract.
I'm going to go ahead and use this out of context at various social events.
He also had really shifty eyes and he blinked too often. Clear signs of a potential mass murderer.
Don't know what it means for NX tho.

So? Do you know how much NV will make off one unit sold? If it's a usual console IP licensing deal then it will be some pennies which will hardly even influence their revenue.
Does this count for his source Nate too?
How did I get dragged into this?
Re-establishing themselves in console hardware and ramping up their Tegra line has more potential long-term benefits than short term profits.
Remember the Semi-Accurate article this board didn't really believe? The one from May that first claimed Nintendo was using Nvidia Tegra?
It also claimed that the Tegra team was told to get a console win or "go home" and that Nintendo made out ridiculously well in the deal. At the very least, that article has some credibility now.

So, does anyone has the video with just the question and the "answer" at the conference?

It's an especially strategic move if dedicated gaming systems in general start following the trend in Japan and meeting mobile in the middle.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

All I've said is Pascal...
I know. I didn't say otherwise. The crazy shit has to do with that beautiful patent. Apologies if you got the wrong idea, haha.
The nerd in me wants to own an NX just to tear it apart now if it has that tech in it, haha.

At least I'm good for something lol.This is the most perfect reply in a long time
