No way JoseSo do we think Nintendo will be taking a small loss on this and depart from selling all their consoles for profit?

the rumors have been for a while top end was ps4 pro. so maybe
Switch Next/2/NG/Whatever will use a custom SOC based of Orin. It's called T239 Drake.
It's existence was rumored ever since 2021 by known Nvidia leaker Kopite7kimi.
Leak: Switch 2 to use Orin T239 Nvidia Soc , PS4 and PS4 pro performance Without DLSS
this has been leaked long time ago, but it means it will have PS4 power in portable mode and PS4 pro docked this is without counting DLSS, and if nintendo uses enough Ram and UFS 3.1 or better storage it is going to be pretty close to current consoles CPU should have better performance than...www.neogaf.com
It's kinda crazy to think about that Switch 2 will rock an SoC designed in 2021 to be used from 2024 onwards for the next 5-7 years.
Can it be that good or maybe things aren't set in stone yet?
You can make still rough comparisons between Ampere and RDNA 2 parts using TF figures, since the ratio between compute and fillrate, texture rate, memory bandwidth etc. generally doesn't change too much. When you do this you find that Ampere parts have about 70% of the performance of RDNA 2 parts at the same number of Teraflops. So a 4TF Switch 2 should be roughly equivalent to 2.8 TF RDNA 2 part or a 3.5 TF GCN part (PS4/PS4 Pro). So it would still be behind the PS4 Pro.Yeah. Means absolutely nothing relative to any console that currently exists. If the number is true, for example, it will CRUSH the PS4 Pro… not equal it or fall just short of it. It will CRUSH it. Comparing teraflops different generational architectures in the same brand and especially between totally different gpu brands cannot be directly compared.
Games made by Nintendo 1st parties will be amazing, but Gamefreak will somehow still manage to churn out subpar garbage.I'm incredibly eager to see what next-gen Mario and Zelda will look like. I hope they both sport luscious green fields of tall grass I can run through.
This is the unfortunate truth.Gamefreak will somehow still manage to churn out subpar garbage.
My god the copium in this thread. It’s designed in 2021 as a cut back version of an older chip. Is not high end. It’s been 20 years, people. How long till you realise that Nintendo is not in the tech race? They don’t need your enthusiast tier ass.It's kinda crazy to think about that Switch 2 will rock an SoC designed in 2021 to be used from 2024 onwards for the next 5-7 years.

I don't see it that black and white, the OG Switch SoC may not been high end but they designed it to push for as much performance as possible with the given small thermal envelope and reaching 3 hours gameplay at full throttle.
The Switch as a mobile device being as good or better than the WiiU is definitely a testament that Nintendo is pushing for high tech and performance again.
Only GAF is a crazy enough place to be able to read this sentence.a testament that Nintendo is pushing for high tech and performance
I agree but a 1536 ALU part at 1 GHz would still deliver decent performance for a handheld. Ampere is old but still pretty performant and had good power efficiency even on Samsung's crappy 8nm process.My god the copium in this thread.

Yes of course. And it’s probably going to be my first Nintendo console in 20 years but I’m managing my expectations with the facts in mind.I agree but a 1536 ALU part at 1 GHz would still deliver decent performance for a handheld.

Switch has already feature parity with PS4/Xbone
What's wrong with that? I'm willing to learn if you can teach something I don't know (which can be plenty, btw).

I was going with the rumored 1250 CUDA cores. Also meant handheld not docked.How? The rumor are the switches GPU will be a version of the MX570 or a RTX 2050,at 700MHz,it should be slightly over 2 Ampere TFLOPS.
OG Switch was based on a 24nm and it's rework 16nm which was why the battery life increased. For the same amount of battery as the original, they could have increased the MHz rate but chose not to. When the die shrinks it requires less power to run at the same rates. 7nm Ampere requires much less power to run at 700mhz than 24nm Maxwell.Switch 1 was 384Mhz in portable so why on earth Switch 2 will be close to 700mhz? 400ish maybe at best because it's Ampere but I doubt it.
Edit: Sorry I thought we are talking about portable.
Switch 1 was 384Mhz in portable
