Emily Rogers Nintendo NX Interview With YouTube Personality "SuperMetalDave64"

Nintendo insider "Emily Rogers" sprouted quite a few Nintendo NX rumors since last twelvemonth, and many of those rumors were challenged by Nintendo YouTuber "SuperMetalDave64". Rogers decided to interview the YouTube personality and discuss the NX.

While Rogers believes that the Nintendo NX will exist using a NVIDIA based scrap, SuperMetalDave believes that AMD is involved with a Semi Custom Blueprint based on the x86 architecture. Both seem to agree that Nintendo's console will characteristic a 720p screen. Read the complete interview below.

Emily Rogers: Do you lot believe Nvidia is involved with NX? On May 13th, I reported that NX will NOT use x86 architecture, and I said Nvidia was involved.

What are your thoughts on all of this?

SuperMetalDave64: Yeah, information technology appears to me that Nvidia is non involved at all. I believe that the NX is multiple devices with Home Console powered past an AMD Semi Custom design win that is based on x86 compages for extremely like shooting fish in a barrel ports from the electric current line of consoles and PC. The NX handheld, I believe, will use a custom DMP fleck made specifically to be compatible with the NX dwelling house console.

Emily Rogers: On August 26th, I reported that the Nintendo NX prototype had a multi-touch screen, and the screen had a 720p resolution. What are your thoughts?

SuperMetalDave64: Yes, I believe that 720p might actually be more cost-constructive than a custom designed 540p screen. Multi touch is too very inexpensive. And then I do call up it will be 720p and multi affect when it's released.

Emily Rogers: Practise you believe the rumors that NX will use cartridges?

SuperMetalDave64: I believe it will be cartridge-based. However, Nintendo did patent a device that had a disc drive that could exist used as an optional attachment to the NX. So, while I do believe NX will mainly use carts, I don't want to rule out discs completely even so.

Emily Rogers: On May 13th, I said NX was struggling to even accomplish Xbox Ane levels of power. How powerful practice yous believe NX volition be?

SuperMetalDave64: Realistically, I think [NX] volition be in a higher place PS4 but below PS4 Pro. Not bleeding edge just decent.

Emily Rogers: Why practice you believe Nvidia is not involved?

SuperMetalDave64: Nvidia's market share for Tegra use in mobile devices has only been decreasing since 2022 due to the high TDP of the chip causing inefficiency in battery life, leading mobile device providers to start using other vendors and chips for their devices, like Snapdragon, for example.

In regards to the Eurogamer rumored device using the Tegra X1, I observe it extremely unlikely due to the fact that the device itself seems to exist a copy of a failed product that hasn't been picked up past any major vendors, making information technology easy to question the chipset being used as fake also. You lot may call back Eurogamer was also puzzled by the utilize of Tegra X1.

When combined with the fact that no data from Nvidia points to any fries that would be custom designed for a new mobile device, and the rumored data is in direct contrast with Nintendo'south own statements, my choice for AMD is extremely easy to make.

Emily Rogers: Why practise you believe Nintendo NX's GPU is from AMD?

SuperMetalDave64: Nintendo has been quoted in saying that they are moving towards architecture integration with multiple devices. AMD has been pioneering heterogeneous design for their SOC's for the last few years, assuasive for dissimilar architectures to exist used similarly to together on the aforementioned flake. AMD has as well been the leading provider of all Semi Custom designs for electric current generation consoles, including the Wii U, Xbox 1, Xbox One S, PS4, PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro and the upcoming Xbox Scorpio.

Of the multiple pattern "wins" announced, AMD has has confirmed ii/3 with only one remaining which they are non able to discuss at this time, but will in the not too afar future. My strong stance is that this SOC win will exist for the Nintendo NX. When comparison the pioneering of SOC chip design for consoles for AMD vs Nvidia, the pick for myself is clearly AMD.

Nvidia has no hints at gaming console development for the Tegra SOC. In fact, information merely points to Nvidia using Tegra SOC'south for their Self Driving Car initiative and will likely be extremely successful in that manufacture better using the Tegra technology rather than with mobile devices.

Emily Rogers: Practise you believe the rumors virtually NX having detachable controllers with movement controls?

SuperMetalDave64: While I believe that the NX controller could have some absurd rumble features incorporated — every bit some patents have shown — I don't believe the residuum of the rumors regarding the device.

Nintendo said that the NX is a "brand new concept". The concept rumored [on the internet] has been done before by multiple companies with the Morphus X300. The Morphus X300 looks virtually identical and has had no consumer interest despite y'all being able to purchase one right at present. I think the NX might have some kind of mobile component or Smartphone integration, just definitely not what the Eurogamer/LPVG rumors have reported.

While the entire interview is based on rumors and speculation, information technology's quite an interesting read. What are your thoughts on Nintendo'due south upcoming new platform? Hit the comments below.
