Anyway, no, it won't be very powerful, maybe even weaker than PS4, but still more powerful than the Wii U.

many people think that but if the fusion concept is true, i really can see a playstation vita / vita tv situation.

Using the same mobile ARM chip in both the handheld and the home console / "tv box". Mobile chips probl wont be stronger then the wii u in 2017 (at least not at an affordable priece). 

thats pretty much what they did but no 2 seperate consoles so far

Hi OP, I'm a fan

There's enough reason to believe that it's on par with XBO at least.

AKA more than powerful enough.

your really the best with your predictions :D keep the good work

It would suck if it is not as powerful as the ps4. The ps4 is not that powerful and cannot even consistently output 1080p/60fps. It's ridiculous, especially now that it will be 2016/2017. It would be ridiculous if it is not at least as powerful as the ps4, but it should be more powerful.

it sucks :(

My point is, if Nintendo is porting Zelda Wii U to NX, it has to be at least as powerful as the Wii U to produce the same or better graphics. Bringing a handheld into the mix really throws things off because NX has been referred to as a home console for a while now. Since they are porting from home console(wii u) to home console(nx) and don't plan to make it look crappier than the Wii U version( I would kinda hope), the NX must be at least as powerful as Wii U.

really?

Everything is pointing towards it being significantly slower then xbox one, but more powerfull then WiiU

Lol im not an hardware expert but i highly doubt you could achieve ps4 performance (graphics and cpu whise) with 3,8 wattage. 

It would be amazing if possible, but i really cant believe it.

CPU wise it can be done with ease.
Jaguar is old and slow, it wasn't much of a CPU to begin with anyway, CPU's don't make games look super pretty which is used in advertising to sell better looking games.

Might be doable when we hit 7nm, having a PS4-level SoC at 4~ watts.
At 14/16nm we are seeing gains of 2.5X in energy efficiency, it won't happen though unless a company wants it custom made to order, the PC though will be getting a 200-300w APU with HBM tech which should run circles around the PS4 this year with some luck.

We also have Tegra's K1 GPU which can do 350-400Gflop at 28nm and consume 2w of energy~ for the whole SoC, imagine that with 2.5x the efficiency? And again another 2x at 7nm? That's more performance than a PS3 despite only using about 2w and it's built at 28nm.

The big issue though would be RAM. Amount and Bandwidth rather than the CPU and GPU, you can't have high bandwidth and low power consumption, mobile tends to work around this with tiled based approaches and LPDDR3/4 rather than hungry GDDR5.

Plus on a mobile device you can get away with games running at a lower resolution and using scalers to pick up some of the slack.

Everything wrong, exactly what I told you.

Nice guess, your the king or predictions on this side. Keep the great work

 

Nvidias maxwell based Tegra x1 is similar powerfull as the wii u with 380 Gflops in fp 32 (wii u 352 Gflops)



UB04 on 17 December 2016

unfortunaly not.



WhiteMoon on 19 December 2016

Thats it. Perfect prediction
