I'm gonna laugh so hard is Nintendo somehow justifies once again using a PowerPC 750 core, though I'd be very doubtful they'd be that stupid. It's just a question of whether AMD is making Zen or ARM based SoCs for them, since it's a "hybrid" platform.
2 out of 3 of AMD's announced SoC wins could be attributed to the NX system, one for the home console, and one for the mobile component. I do very much wonder if one or two Zen cores and a few Polaris compute units could really be crammed into a handheld form factor. ARM could be used for the mobile NX system, with games compiled for both architectures. The latter is possible given AMD's past couple years experience with ARM design and engineering.
