Nintendo NX to use Nvidia new unannounced Tegra chip

Nintendo NX to use Nvidia new unannounced Tegra chip

Interesting news on the console front, a new report now says that while the NX will be powered by the Tegra, it won’t be the current Tegra X1 chip, but the upcoming X2, which should be more powerful. 

As written on wiiudaily: Last week we heard some rumors about the NX and that it was going to be powered by Nvidia’s mobile Tegra processor — a mobile CPU based on ARM and a GPU from Nvidia. 

The Pascal X1 was released last year and is about as powerful as an Xbox One or PS3. Which disappointed many Nintendo fans, as it feels like the NX isn’t going to be powerful enough. 

However, a new report now says that while the NX will be powered by the Tegra, it won’t be the current X1 chip, but the upcoming X2, which will be far more powerful. 

That’s thanks to the chip using Nvidia’s new “Pascal” graphics architecture. Pascal was introduced just a few months ago on desktop graphics cards with the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, which are extremely powerful cards. The $350 GTX 1070 is more powerful than last generation’s $1,000 card. 

If true, this is definitely good news for Nintendo, as the NX would approach the power of the Xbox One (which we’ve reported in the past), while keeping its mobile shape. If it turns out to be a mobile / home console hybrid as rumored.

Will be interesting how powerful the X2 will be. Since X1 would have been way too weak for NX... Since Tegra X1 is far cry from something like even Xbox 1 :)

Imo NX would need tad more power then X1 level tho.

Yeah while the Nvidia shield which had the X1 chip was very good for what it was being able to run some AAA games such as the Doom 3 remake. It would be very interesting on how powerful the X2 chip is and what kind of ARM Cpu the NX will have.

Very true. Nintendo does need 3rd party devs as well.
