Nintendo NX GPU/CPU/Memory Allegedly More Powerful Than PS4 “By A Noticeable Amount”

Another Nintendo NX rumor has surfaced, which claims that the NX will be more powerful than the PS4, “by a noticeable amount”. This applies to the console’s GPU, CPU, and it’s memory.

What will the NX look like? No one knows

The rumor comes from Neogaf user, 10K, who posted the alleged NX details in a Nintendo NX thread verified by the GAF moderators. 10K made a tiered ranking to add some additional weight to the leak in question.

While a tier 1 ranking doesn’t mean that it’s a false rumor, a tier 4 ranking has multiple sources backing up the rumor/leak.

The most interesting part of 10K’s post, revolves around the hardware of the NX, which allegedly is “noticeable” more powerful than Sony’s PS4. The rumor concerning the Wii U remasters is also quite interesting, even more so if you consider that these ‘ports’ were also recently mentioned by Nintendo insider, Emily Rogers.

As usual, take the following info with a grain (or a bag?) of salt. Here goes:

• The NX will be more powerful than the PS4. “By a noticeable amount”. From the CPU, to GPU, to RAM. Sources don’t know the clock speeds, or memory type or amount of memory. But if the CPU is 15-30% stronger than PS4 as alluded to by LCGeek, than the GPU would need to match that bump in order to not bottleneck (Nintendo hates their bottlenecks).
