| Soundwave said: They will use the same mobile CPU/GPU (system on chip) for both the portable and home device I'd bet, the home version will just be a bit more powerful. Nintendo will love this because the console will be able to be very small, very low power, and very quiet ... it will could very easily be smaller than even the Wii and run with less electricity. The Nvidia Shield console with the Tegra X1 processor (a mobile chip that will eventually be in tablets) is probably a good idea of what to expect:
500 GFLOPS of power with 4GB of RAM ... for $199.99, today. Probably exactly the ballpark Nintendo likes. |
I can honestly say I could see that happending....
Not sure how I feel about it though, I think instead of useing a old Nvidia tech chip they should design their own with AMD.
If they dont use Hybrid Memory Cube technology ram, for their next console, they are doing something wrong.
I just want them to do a custom "this gen or new gen" design APU with HMC ram tech.
MS and Sony could not have used this groundbreaking ram technology when they designed their consoles because it wasnt ready at the time.
