Some of the leaked images have ad copy like "most developer friendly console" and "easy porting from PC and Xbox 360".

All of which suggests one thing.

Nintendo licensed Direct3D.

Those are definitely fake. The font for the Nintendo logo in one of the pics is Pretendo with uneven spacing between letters.

This will probably run OpenCL like the 3DS does.

Do you have a source on OpenCL being used for 3DS programming? I'm interested but couldn't find anything.

I suspect he meant OpenGL. 3DS has a PICA200, supporting OpenGL ES 1.1 (which is a bit old-fashioned but workable).

But no one actually uses OpenGL for console games. It's all custom libs (which is basically Direct3D on the Xbox).
