If it turns out to be true that Switch uses the old Maxwell chip instead of Pascal and the older ARM CPU... I think I'm gonna hold on with my purchase. If it's true, I'm gonna be pissed at Nintendo for lying to me, since they said about the top GPU architecture, which Maxwell isn't even close to being. If it's Pascal I'm gonna buy it, if it's Maxwell, I'm gonna wait for the inevitable (imho) revision that will be using newer technology. If only for battery life.

Nintendo, don't mess this up.

Lol, Nintendo never said that.

Sources saying that Pascal's couldn't be done on time (Tegra Pascal isnt on market yet) and even Nvidias newest Shield deviaces (that are intriduced few days ago) are using Tegra X1 Maxwell chip also, and actual only real difference between Pascal and Maxwell Tegra is efficiency, and sources saying that Nintendo is aiming 5-8 hours with Switch battery.

"The Nintendo Switch will be using the same architecture as the world's top performing Geforce graphics cards"

So yeah, they did. It's not on the market? Not my trouble. I'm not the one who lied about the architecture. There's no spinning this, Pascal architecture would be better in every way. Battery life, performance, it would allow for cheaper production and an earlier price drop.

I hate it when companies bs me like this.
