Yet another boring, underpowered failure that the fanboys are going to defend as if it was their life and anyone with half a brain left won't touch.
Rinse and repeat in 4-5 years with 0 price drops in between..
In other words: Welcome to the world of Nintendo.
At least Nvidia got a win for Tegra!!
Having said that,it will be quite interesting to see how fast it is. The PS Vita is not far off a PS3. If the SOC is suitably powerful it might make it faster than a Wii U.

Custom Tegra chip apparently. Hopefully closer to Tegra 2 than 1..
I suspect it might be a Parker derived chip:

So a Pascal GPU and a Denver CPU.
They'd do better re-releasing the SNES
And that's not even a joke.

Have I just missed a source for it being a Tegra chip, or has that come from somewhere else? Can't see it anywhere in this article or the linked blog post...

Nice. Now all I need to see are the games.
If it's X1, then it's 500 GFLOPS - not even 2x Wii U. Nobody measures 16-bit FP operations, although they might make it a bit faster in certain places.
Great for a handheld. But let's be honest, this is a handheld, it's the new replace-all for 3DS, DS, etc.
Nah, I think it's a custom Tegra, like Nvidia say. 512-cores. Denver+A53. 800 GFLOPS+.
Could be an interesting thing, it's nice to see a tablet focused on ergonomics rather than thinness.
I suspect make or break for it will be the rest of the platform. If it's gaming-only or lousy at general tablet stuff then I'd find it a lot less tempting.
Haven't owned a Nintendo console since the N64 but this is tempting. It's tempting because rather than try and compete with the power of PC gaming it complements it and fills in the gaps:
A powerful handheld with the nintendo IPs, ease of portability and controls which facilitate easy co-op make this look quite attractive for me (Though i do see it more as a handheld than anything else). Throw in some decent multimedia capabilities and i'll be all for it.
