https://t.co/sC5kuRXwu7Should be hearing something soon, but don't be surprised if it's not Tegra based :pBeen wondering why you've been so quiet.
Woo hoo! That was $100 put to good use!
Thanks mate. Sorry to complicate things, I should have asked for clarification on it sooner.
As I said though, I think the reveal will happen sooner too. I just don't want to go with the boring, more predictable guesses. And in the off chance my guess is right, I get to annoyingly gloat about it for years to come.
They aren't cancelling the Shield line, just the Shield K1 and not making a new model. Shield Android TV is still going...wish I would have gotten a tablet before though. I also have the portable. Nice little system.
Can we please not use random Twitter accounts for "facts?" And the only thing CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said, which you have to find through the link on the page that's linked in the twitter feed (http://wccftech.com/nvidia-longer-interested-making-mobile-socs/) is this - “We are no longer interested in that market. Anybody can build smartphones, and we’re happy to enjoy these devices, but we’ll let someone else build them.” Nvidia is not dropping out of the mobile market (ever heard of a laptop?), they are still pushing the Nvidia Shield Android TV (which I own two of) and plan on expanding GeForce Now on that platform.
Also, the guy who you just quoted from Twitter thinks that the article linked makes it *more likely* that Nvidia is working on the NX.
But the link he provided does specifically mention that AMD is doing chips for the NX. So that would back his claim that Nvidia has nothing to do with the NX, and that AMD is still working directly with Nintendo.Not really getting the point of this either. MysticGohan can sing about AMD all day long if he so chooses. My confusion is rooted in him quoting me as if what he said was some kind of counterpoint. Sure, the link backs his AMD stroking, but it still has nothing to do with my specific post. At this point, I think MysticGohan is just trolling. That article is from May. If there was any truth to it, we wouldn't still be talking about this.
But yes, it does not refute your claim that some companies will not share everything with investors.
And what I said about companies not sharing everything with investors isn't a "claim." It's fact. They don't. This has been proven publicly countless times. If it wasn't, there would be no secrets. There would be no need for leaks. If you owned even one share, you'd be privy to tons of information. Media outlets everywhere would do just that. If Nvidia scored a contract with Nintendo, there's no hard and fast rule that it has to announce the partnership as soon as the ink dries. It's weird that such a thing is still even being entertained by anyone.
There is no source for that (which would be huge news) though, it's just placed there with no explanation. The three new console chips that are not the current consoles (at the time) are Xbox One S, Project Scorpio, and PS4 Neo.

Nvidia has announced nothing, other than X2 being used in cars. If they were doing chips for Nintendo, they would've told investors today.Here's 13 straight years of Steve Jobs not telling investors what Apple was planning until it was announced to the public:
In 2000, Jobs told Macworld attendees that he was no longer "Interim CEO." Investors didn't officially know who the CEO of the company was until pretty much the rest of the world did.
Apple didn't announce everything to investors when it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it still doesn't do so today as one of most valuable companies in the world. Nvidia isn't Apple; different companies do different things. That's the point. Just because AMD announced design wins to investors doesn't mean Nvidia will or has to.
Investor calls are mostly fluff anyway. A couple years ago, a Nintendo investor said, "I do not understand video games," then went on to say he was angry that Nintendo, a company that has made video games for over three decades, keeps talking about "such childish topics as 'what the future of video games should be'" during its shareholders' meetings.
Interesting. Emily Rogers also had a rumor that Retro Studios had a new game that wasn't Donkey Kong or Metroid...
And it might not have even been Kimishima that wanted the hardware power crown either. Iwata could have been like "**** these clowns, lets get the best, so they can die like the rest" and then called their supplier and been like "dude we gotta be max get me that ****" and then pimp slapped whatever company is supplying the goods.
To put it in another way: Nintendo has avoided the most powerful hardware contest for 2 generations, they may have decided that now was the time to get some powerful hardware for the sake of public perception. I have said it for years, there is a peak, a valley, a wall, or whatever where we aren't going to be able to differentiate the consoles in terms of power for several years. The type of stuff I've seen with the fox engine, the luminous engine, or unreal4 are very photo-realistic.
