Sort of. They appear to be in a bit of a holding pattern, having not released a competitive SoC in that space for some years.
The rumor is that the Switch contract only came because Nvidia had a firesale on those older chips that they expected to make their way into flag ship Android devices, but instead sat in inventory for years.
Maybe after the ARM acquisition goes through (if it does), they'll start looking down that line again.
Can you give some more pointers? There's a lot of former Nintendo engineers.
I find it very difficult to believe that contrary to the rumors, Nintendo had been sitting on a SoC for many years without releasing a product or even pushing for a die shrink. Like, the Tegra X1 was announced in 2014, and released into products by 2015, and the Switch didn't come out until 2017.
Turning off an entire core complex also points to it not being designed for them. Nintendo isn't known for paying for gates they aren't using.
