>Nintendo is working with NVIDIA and will use a Pascal-based Tegra chip inside of their next-gen Nintendo NX console.
IT'S HAPPENING
IT'S OVER, AMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
>>337552413
>Nintendo
Please, if anyone is finished, it's them.
>tegra
so, nx handheld confirmed
>>337552413
It's using Polaris.
Screen cap this post
>>337552590
The new Tegra is pretty powerful, it's used in the new Shield console thing I think.
So, how's Nintendo going to take it in the ass by nvidia?
Lube or no lube?
>>337552728
So nx is just a rebranded shield then
>>337552742
After the original Xbox, I'm expecting the worst.
>>337552861
What the fuck logic is that?
>This general purpose SoC was in something, now everything that uses it is just a rebrand
oh please
even generic laptops with midrange gpu's have better performance than nvidia tegra
amd's finished? more like nintendo is finished
another underpowered machine means their end
>>337552951
Question, isn't a tegra like an ARM SoC?
>>337552413
>console
>nvidia gpu
This may not end well
>>337552861
No, Shield Android TV has a Maxwell GPU
This has a Pascal GPU and 16nm FF
>>337552413
>We should expect a full reveal at E3 2016 in June
Fake and gay, move on.
>>337553004
so? tegra is still an tablet tier gpu, strong but nothing close to desktop gpu
>>337552997
yeah and that makes it even worse
ninty needs to go x86 if they want to get anywhere and make it easier for devs to pick up their machine
making it arm just makes it even less attractive
>>337552997
>Asking questions from an AMDrone who hasn't seen performance numbers past T3i
Burning NX
>>337552951
Tegra is ARM CPU, it's not a GPU.
>>337552413
I would be surprised.
>>337553056
Unveiled by Nvidia maybe?
>>337553143
>Tegra is ARM CPU, it's not a GPU.
It's a SoC
>>337553187
I really /hope/ this is just for the mobile unit.
>>337553143
Tegra is a SoC, it has CPU, GPU, memory controllers, etc.
>/v/ technology threads
>Knowing anything they're talking about
>>337553187
Ah, you're right.
>>337553245
fucking this
ill agree to ninty using arm for the mobile
and then the main station better have x86
>>337552413
So is it better or worse than the ps2?
>>337553389
ARM for mobile would be a really good step, considering most mobile developers(aka smartphone devs) do it.
There's always the supplemental computing device nintendo patented though.
Ouya/Fuze killer
kek
>>337553420
Better by far but you can't expect something like modern battlefield titles or something.
It wont certainly run crysis, that's for sure
>Tegra
>>337553492
>the NX controller turns out to be a smartphone running android
Will it happen, /v/?
>>337553657
Will probably have a custom OS, since they said it isn't a smart phone.
>>337553657
Both the 3ds and the vita use an ARM cpu and a dedicated GPU, using a single chip would lower costs greatly. Again, hoping this is only for the mobile part of the NX
>>337553492
>ARM for mobile would be a really good step
Nigga Nintendo handhelds have been ARM at least since the GBA.
>details at e3 2016
Fake and gay
I'm pretty sure I remember reading that Tegra's new chip can run UE4 and shit. So it might be aight.
>>337553884
Let me rephrase: SoCs would be a good step.
>>337552413
>according to our sources
>We should expect a full reveal at E3 2016 in June
lel
>>337553492
Nintendo has used ARM chips for their mobiles since the GBA. The question at this point was who they would choose. Tegra would be a great choice of a modern SoC with powerful GPU/CPU and likely great support from nVidia.
>Smartphones killing handheld business
>Nintendo makes another handheld
>>337553925
>tfw UE4 can run in everything BUT wiiu, which needs workarounds that IGA's team is working with in bloodstained
Can anyone remind me how nvidia fucked up with microsoft and sony?
I was only 10 years old in 2005
But they're finally making a handheld that has confirmed better graphics than ps2/ps3. Why the fuck would you guys not like it?
Do we seriously need another console?
>>337553389
Agreed completely, if they did this and the NX was a handheld (which we're due for) I'd get it on principle alone. the potential hardware strength alone would be impressive for a gaming handheld.
>>337554007
I am sure Nvidia would be more than happy to help Nintendo.
What does this means for the console? Surely they would not use Tegra for one and then an AMD SoC.
>>337554029
>which needs workarounds that IGA's team is working with in bloodstained
Yeah, it's called outsourcing a port to UE3.
>>337554029
I meant that if it can run that it should run whatever fine. Most games use UE4 these days.
>>337554024
>Smartphones killing handheld business
Is it 2012?
>>337553085
>strong
No it's fucking not.
>>337554130
Tegra IS an SoC. I mean, they could opt to use multiple chips but why do that when Tegra is already a single package with decent performance and power consumption?
>>337554090
For a couple years they turned into Derek Smart, i.e. they thought they could sue everybody. They probably learned their lesson. If try to Google "nvidia sues" you'll get a list of them.
>>337554090
MS: Nvidia raised the price of the components after the Xbox came out and MS was forced to pay a lot more than was originally contracted which made them lose more money
Sony: Nvidia was contracted to design a GPU for the PS3 and delivered it so late that Sony didn't find out it was shit until the last moment. It turns out it was so garbage that Sony had to quickly release a stopgap measure redesign for the PS3 which raised it's price to $599 at a loss just for them to compete with the 360.
After these incidents, MS and Sony refused to even touch Nvidia from then onwards.
>>337554312
Because up until now, everybody assumed they would use an AMD SoC.
>Nintendo wants to make a Shield ripoff that will surely lack the versatility of what makes Android based devices good
That's just a dumb idea. What's the point of an Android device you can't sideload and fill up with emulators?
I love my Nvidia Shield portable, but I surely don't use it for exclusives. It's just a powerhouse of an emulation machine that I can bring along with me.
Anything Nintendo would make with it would be locked up and "safe", with minimal user customization. A waste of resources and opportunity for Nintendy to do something different if you ask me.
>>337554198
no it is soon 2018 and handhelds are finished.
>>337554392
And they still could. Rumors being what they are. There's no reason to do so though. Portable electronics' greatest weakness is power draw. Using multiple chips when you could use just one is poor design if battery life is of any concern. That's why ultrabooks can claim 12 hours of battery life with half the battery capacity of the larger more powerful laptops with dedicated GPUs even though they have a hell of a lot more battery yet struggle to hit 3 hours.
>>337554335
Is that why they gave us the power of the cell™?
>>337554618
An AMD SoC is one chip.
I don't know why they would use ARM and then use x86, especially for consoles that are "supposed" to work together.
>>337554495
People who actually like video games don't play smartphone games. Its a different market and we've known this for years. The armchair analysts in 2011/2012 were pretty damn sure the 3DS was finished and yet its still getting games in 2016.
>>337554875
Well, they did use ARM and PPC on the wiiu for something didn't they?
>>337554875
I forgot, supposedly the NX is running Vulkan, which I guess makes it sound less silly.
>>337554972
Yeah i would guess they would use vulkan since that's the only option left
>>337554962
Handheld games has been killed by mobile, even Nintendo is now making mobile games.
Console games are thriving though.
>>337552413
>implying the NX will sell
>>337555271
Meanwhile in reality: another Pokemon game on a Nintendo handled released in 2011 with a resolution of 400 x 240 will sell millions of copies.
>>337555401
and in reality Pokemon is declining in sales seeing as how X/Y and ORAS did worse than the DS or the GBA pokemons.
Handhelds are on a decline and will cease to exist in 5-10 years.
Nintendo just doesn't have the balls to directly compete with Sony and MS. They want their own little niche instead of a slice of the big pie.
On the other hand they might have gigantic balls and are trying to make a smartphone.
>>337555487
So it is 2012 again then? Nobody will ever put money into a shitty phone game when the market is saturated with $2 knockoffs.
>>337555623
>another N-Gage
>N-Gage
>En-Gage
>Nintendo-Gage
THOSE BASTARDS
>>337555487
Gee, I wonder if that has something to do with the install base of the console? Didn't XY sell 14 million or something? Most publishers would kill to get even half those numbers, don't be stupid anon.
Handhelds are on a decline, but I would still say pokémon stands strong all things considered.
>>337553492
>>337553657
Is it even possible that they would make a console that comes with a cellphone of some kind that works together with the main console?
>>337555905
I'm probably sure this has been talked about for YEARS since the nx was revealed
>>337555792
Pokemon will just simply shift towards mobile. We're just going to see more and more games like Pokemon Go.
It will never die
>>337555724
>Mobile game apps print money for every single smartphone dev
>Even Miitomo made a ton of money for a simple app
>high development costs for handheld games while being low profit
>handheld sales on a massive decline as 3DS is the worst selling Nintendo handheld
The future is bleak, you're stupid if you can't see the signs. People are just more than happy playing those cheap smartphone apps and aren't looking to spend $200+$50 for a game in the future.
And every emulator fag just cried out in pain.
Have fun trying to emultate the next generations fags
>>337556182
This, as much as it pains me, it's very likely that handheld games will go extinct soon due to the popularization of cellphone games.
If normies weren't casual fags that can't handle a challenge, it could've been prevented but alas, most people are fucking lazy and have no patience when it comes to game.
>>337556302
Or nintendo will cement it's place as the king of it's own handheld niche.
>>337553186
don't get my hopes up
>>337556370
Maybe, who knows. The future is always uncertain after all and if this rumour is true, it's very possible that they're making some kind of handheld device that acts like a phone or play those kind of games.
As much as people hate Nintendo, I do honestly like that they're trying new shit, even if people call it gimmicks or whatever. At least they're fucking trying to do something that hasn't been done before. But whether it'll be actually good or not is left to be seen of course.
Nintendos consoles are the only one that that makes me interested and curious because of this. Not that I think Sony's or Microsoft's consoles are bad but you know exactly what their next console's gonna be like. "MORE RAM, MORE POWER, MORE GRAPHICS". Again, nothing bad with that but nothing I can really find myself getting hyped and speculate over.

Do you have a source on this? I don't see how you could backport a UE4 project to UE3, since they use completely different scripting systems.
