Yes but it can remain identical silicon and not be customised just run at lower clocks. 

oh that's what you meant!

Sorry my first comment about being customized because they reduce the clock speed was a joke.

Many people were thinking that the Switch had some kind of special X1, the usual make believes from fans you know.

I was mocking that ^^

It is known for a while now:

The NVidia Shield throttles at max clock speeds (and even drastically blow max) and can not obtain those for longer than a few seconds. This is why it seems Nintendo capped clock speeds to ensure permanent use at those lower speeds.

So what we basically have now is a standard NVidia Shield TV with drastically improved APIs.

Stock tegra chip runs the Game of the Year, really shows that both other parties in the console race sort of have the wrong idea about what to strive for to excite gamers and the gaming industry. Outside of digital foundry there are not a whole pile of people go do a pixel count on a per frame basis in games, most would rather a game which is amazing from a gameplay point of view than an amazing amount of pixels on screen.

I'm not saying that graphical fidelity isn't a great thing to have too, just that it doesn't matter how Pro or how Scorpio the other consoles get, they still wont play Breath of the Wild.

So do you think the zelda team would have made a better looking and perfroming BotW on say the PS4 hardware?

Without a doubt.

Would be better looking than Cemu @4k, if Nintendo did a game for the PS4pro:

Wii U vs PC emulation:

In before "the blurred image gives the game a unique look that makes it look way better than 4k".

Or the 15fps of the emulator gives it a more cinematic experience

FPS isnt a issue, its full speed on good PC's.

The problem is theres bugs like.... it doesnt notice you going into water, so your just running around on the bottom of the sea bed (instead of swimming).

Theres a few things like that, once thats fix'ed (a couple of months?) it ll be running and playing better than the Wii U or Switch version.

Wow its amazing the ability that you have to make things up out of thin air. Are you a project manager for nvidia or Nintendo? Do you have any legitimate information about how the and for how much were the Tegra chips sold to Nintendo? Do you have a magical ball that reveal things from the tech industry? Im sory but you are just speculating here.

Im not a "professional and student level subscribers.", but the info in his articles had a way of getting out and re-reported by other news sites or the forums would have threads talking about it.  So basically what Im saying and the opinions I have are from old rumors and what people said back then. 


also its stupid to assume that a project manager would say anything about the matter, on a forum. They would end up loseing their jobs, and or getting sued, most likely.  Typically what happends is someone in the techworld, that knows others in the techworld, but runs a news site talks to people, and keeps it anonymous, just saying "sources said so and so" (I assume).


Thats what semiacurate did, they had sources/moles tell them this stuff, and it was news worthy. He wrote about it.

The guy likes to speculate and isnt always right though, so hes not well liked, so often his "news" is just disreguarded.

However he was right about it being Nvidia Nintendo would use back in early May of 2016, and knew it was a normal tegra chip well in advance too.

Im assumeing his "sources" that talked about the deal and why nintendo picked them, is also right.

 

So no what I talk about above isnt from a "magic crystal ball" but from news articles explaining why nintendo picked nvidia.

 

Yeah, nice try buddy. Nowhere in those articles the author speaks about how Nvidia had a mythical warehouse with millions of Tegra chips and how they sold them dirt cheap to Nintendo. To me what you are talking if it is your opinion ok I respect that, but the fact that you are the way you present your post looks like you REALLY know what you are talking about when no one here knows exactly how the deal went. It is all speculations, speculations and more speculations dude.

*facepalm*

You cant "see" the full article because its hidden behinde a pay wall... you have to be subscribed to Semiaccurate to read it.

Also there was more than that, rumors in threads that talked about it.

 

Yes I dont know it for a fact, these are just rumors.

My opinion is these rumors are true.

Why? well because semiaccurate was right about everything else about the switch (nx) back then.
