SMD64 had one legit software leak.

I don't trust his hardware speculations at all. They've all been wrong.
He's gone as far as trying to discredit people like LKD who did have legit info, bcause he has this nintendo console power fantasy that never materialized, so the ultra powerful dock would be his last resort.

He leaked the entire SW Line Up from June to December 2016. Including codename rainbow (PKMN S,M)

And then he leaked the 2 Metroid Games. That amd thing was pure speculation. He never based that amd thing on a source.

I watched one video by this guy, he seemed like a bit of an ass, to be quite honest. He was mad because people liked the Eurogamer reveal of the Switch, and claimed Switch was actually some kind of a PS4 clone instead.

Also, his "leak" was two Metroid games by Retro Studios in the works for the Switch. That is not what happened, just a semi-accurate guess.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I can say for sure that he is 100% correct. And he is not talking about VC or another SF2 like never released title. First i am in Privat contact with smd64 and second as i mentioned before i am a member of a Brotherhood were i have met alot of brothers from the US. Some of them working for Big Companies like Nintendo. But just from the Marketing. Something big is really comming.
I would recommend to you guys to go way back to the Foxconn leak and look again and read it. And you will understand. But dave is wrong with 2017. It is 2018.

This is like a throwback at the Unity thread and John Lucas.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I know. Wich is what I was referring to as his one legit software leak. Apparently add another one with Metroid.

I know. Wich is why I wrote 'hardware speculations'.

I think he has made it abundantly clear that, even if he has a legit source on the software side, he knows nothing about the hardware side of nintys business.

So if he has a software leak I'll perk up, with hardware, yeah we'll see it once we get to it. I'll remain sceptical for now.

That's precisely how nVidia's current external gpu offering (Razer Core) works though : via USB-C/Thunderbolt

And since it's only an extra Tegra X1 rather than a full GPU it's already a lot leaner of a setup than working with a GTX1080 in external form.

So it'll work fine - it's a solution nVidia has worked on for a long time already.

No, that's NOT how nVidia's current external gpu offering (Razer Core) works!

It doesn't combine the internal and external GPU. It is switching the internal GPU off in favor of the external and they don't have to sync.

The Razer Core also uses the Thunderbolt 3 double port protocol: http://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/razer-core

The Switch uses USB 3.0, which is a completely different league: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nintendo+Switch+Teardown/78263#s156423

The Drive PX 2 which connects two Tegras on one board has a bandwith of over 50 GB/s (400 Gbps)... that is also "a bit" faster than the 0.625 GB/s (5 Gbps) the Switch can (theoretically) reach:

 

Congrats you are right. I was wrong.

Excuse me for not knowing the precise difference between the Switch's USB type C port and Thunderbolt.

Nitty gritty teardown differences aside, I see a physically similar port and plug and pretty straightforward use-case nVidia could leverage to push more products through Nintendo. Makes me wonder if all they had to do was upgrade it to a full Thunderbolt 3 port to make this a possiblity why they wouldn't go for it.

Conceivably if the Switch USB C port was indeed thunderbolt 3, wouldn't *you* see it as a possibility? It likely had to be considered during the Switch's development. Devil's advocate here - Perhaps they opted for a custom route with a similar outcome?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Well, Nintendo did patent a SCD, so they have at least given the idea some thought.

Hopefully it has something to do with them replenishing their Switch stock. Can't find that thing anywhere.
