Qualcomm has been using their own cores (Krait) since the Snapdragon S2 days (except for some low end S400 SoC series). Their Krait cores are architecturally comparable to the Cortex-A15 but are in no way similar at the uarch level. Qualcomm has the ARM architecture license from which they derive their own cores but they don't license their Krait designs or even anything from the Adreno series. Manufacturers willing to use Qualcomm chips always buy the SoCs, not the Krait/Adreno GPU IP.

I'm afraid you're mistaken. You might want to look up the recently announced Snapdragon 410. It's an ARMv8 Cortex A53 based SoC with an Adreno GPU just like the one rumored here (only with a weaker GPU). Their Krait cores are 32bit while the Cortex A53 is 64bit. Krait's 64bit successor hasn't been announced so who knows when it will hit. In the meantime Qualcomm is using the ARM 64bit design. I'm sure Qualcomm would be more than happy to sell Nintendo Snapdragon cores with Cortex A53 CPUs and Adreno GPUs.

I think you guys are overreacting and need to relax and wait til they show it like at E3 or etc.
