I read that whole translated article and it mentioned AMD and Nvidia as being possibilities. What if the dock box has a apu, and the "host" hand held part has one as well. WHen they are connected the performance is split for one part doing the actual image display the other doing the other brunt?

Like a hybrid sli. Both can be gpu's but depending on what mode its in act differently one is used as a cpu, the other as a descrete gpu.

If it's at least in the ball park of XBox one or close like at least 1tf or 1.2tf I think it can be a something I would be interested in if the software was stellar and games were renderd when in base mode at native 1080p.

That's the deal breaker for me, dedicated controller and native 1080p when docked. Not 720p upscaled.

 

[Peterc]

I guess that's the dock then?

Some extra info would be welcome ;l

 

[VariantX]

Kind of looks like I imagined it thanks to all the mockups, excluding the shape of the dock. Hoping it looks sleek and not like a toy though

 

[Guevara]

This is totally a GameCube / GBA link.

for what it's worth, here's the post translated:

Nvidia AND AMD? Da hell?

 

[Papacheeks]

Nvidia AND AMD? Da hell?

Thats what I saw as well. But think about it there have been laptops with a amd cpu and nvidia gpu?

 

[Serenitynow]

I will laugh if there is another device powered by AMD

 

[maquiladora]

Looks like that box of the left communicates wirelessly with the controller and is connected to your TV. The thing at the bottom looks like a charging/docking station?

 

[DMONKUMA]

Yeah that seems weird....we get opinions for different chips or am I reading the translation wrong?

The bottom thing looks a lot like the dock on the left side just at a different angle. It's pretty common in schematic drawings/sketches.

thats kind of crazy

Holy crap AMD and Nvidia?? This is the greatest outcome ever! We all win in the end.

I wish the sketch wasn't drawn in Chinese.

From what I understand, dock and performance booster and separate devices. You plug booster to dock and place screen on the dock. Weird that they chose this design, wonder if it's impossible to implement the booster inside the dock?

 

[BlueSteel]

God I cannot read sloppy handwriting.

I can ask my mom to translate when she gets off work if nobody posts translations by then. (lmao I never thought I'd be typing that on GAF)

edit: oh thank god someone else did it.

Maybe this means there will be two retail choices for the NX. One with the booster and the other without?

 

[BitStyle]

The translations for the post are quite confusing in their current state, but it'll do.
Not sure if it is saying that the dock has some extra power to it as well, but I would be quite interested in how they make that work if that's the case.

performance module... interesting :S

They should add Intel there and then we'll be golden.

Is this it?

[Plinko]

Nvidia and AMD? Oh man, SuperMetalDave and HappyNintendoFan are going to have a FIELD DAY with this.

Also, if real (which I doubt) that may confirm power in the dock upgrading the power of the system.

SuperMetalDave and HappyNintendoFan have been claiming that NX's handheld will use DMP instead of Nvidia.

They also claimed that NX was more powerful than PS4.

 

[BitStyle]

That performance module is interesting. I'd assume Nintendo would have a "pro" SKU including that if true

 

[Plinko]

True, but they have been 100% confident about the AMD stuff for months.

N64's 4MB RAM Expansion Pak is not even remotely comparable here.

So the SCD is portable? Crazy.

Well its been confirmed fake-the Chinese drawing. We can move forward with our lives lol.

Dreams of portable projectors and AR sheikah slates are still alive!

The very first picture shown on screen of the Gamecube at Space World on Aug 24th, 2000 -- did not remind me of a lunchbox, but rather, a washing machine front loader.

 

[Malus]

I slept through the beginning and end of the chinese drawing thread. Looks like everyone had a good jolt lol.

That won't stop the oblivious.

That leak made me appreciate Nintendo more because I know they would never make something like that.

God I can't wait to see it. I wished someone could just give me a sneak peak lol

It hasn't been confirmed fake yet.

Matt confirmed it.

Shaky enough to get the other thread closed.

It basically was by Matt.

Even though I wasn't really convinced by that rumor (read too much like a rumor/patent mashup, like those old controller fakes) I'm actually really fond of that portable SCD idea.

Like, it's totally an insane complication from a UX standpoint, but I'd love to just pop $50 or so on one of those every couple years instead of a brand-new system.

The Chinese drawing was basically a Wii U made smaller with a battery added to the base unit. I mean, you had the box that powered everything and had the hard drive and storage, you had the handheld unit with screen that the box streamed to (that required the box to do anything), and you had the dock for recharging.

In that concept, the handheld didn't require the box. It just benefited from it.

May as well repost this.

Guys...really?

I know everyone is eager for the reveal, but you don't have to believe everything that comes along.

Link to the post? Matt is good peeps

 

[phanphare]

swerve, NX is a 2.1 sound system

 

[L Thammy]

The separate box just to connect to the TV thing was dumb - I'm already confused by the rumour of both a dock and the handheld having TV out - but I like the idea of having performance module be the charger. I'm not sure how practical it would be and how cheap it would be to replacement, but that would be a nice way to have decent power and portability.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I mean basically we all already thought of

-NX tablet
-dock/SCD
-SCD

The problem with that rumor was "oh you need to take the SCD thing with the NX tablet just to play games on the road". It made no sense.
