This guy really seems to know what he is talking about... especially in the comments section. Is it possible that the SOC for Switch is really X2? I found it interesting although it makes little difference to me. Really, this was about the fact that I did not see that anybody else had posted this video or discussed the possibility of the console having the X2

The thing has been taken apart and is confirmed to be an X1. X2 is not even ready for mass production yet. X2 is still just a chip for a car atm. Pascal is based on Maxwell. 16MM. Still largely the same tho. A couple extra features but not a ton more. X1 is a great chip for what Switch does.

Actually pay attention to what he says. I am not trying to say it is, I am asking is it possible people are incorrect in what they think the SOC is. He does make it very clear, with a couple good facts, that the SOC is X2.

It is not like NVIDIA or Nintendo confirmed the SOC is X1. But who knows? It is not like it having an X2 will alter my perception of the console. I already own one.

no, we have clear die shots of the Switch SoC and a Tegra X1, they are identical

Lol. I watched the video and I cringed. Yea he doesn't know anything

No this version seems to be the Tegra X1.

I think Nintendo will switch to Tegra X2 to future Switch revisions in 2018 once it becomes more mass produced.

Even if they don't enable it's higher performance modes, the Tegra X2 can run the same stuff the Tegra X1 just at a much lower electrical consumption, so using that chip could bump your battery life to 5-7 hours without basically no fuss. 

What does the X2 look like?

While I believe you, I would like to know what he is wrong about. See, my way of thinking is (and call it hopeful thinking) that someone that is smarter than me says something, I say, "that could be logical" and then someone else that is smarter than me tells me why what the other person said is nonsense and I go, "OK, now THAT makes more sense" but instead, I have not gotten that. I prefer to go with clarity. I am not smart enough to just take sides, I need it to be dumbed down for me otherwise, I can be fooled.

Smaller than a X1.

This is the interesting part because his video explains that the power consumption is the main reason he comes to this conclusion. Switch's power consumption is better than a stock Tegra X1's power consumption. That is exactly what brought me here in the first place.

Could it be a modified Tegra X1 then?
