And 14/16nm fabrication would be quick to transition to, making a big GPU feasible... Am I hoping to much as a PC gamer? With a bigger GPU they wouldn't need to release a successor for a longer time with some luck. |
It is Nintendo though lets be honest even 1.8 TFLOPS would probably be more than enough for virtually any game they make, the new Zelda is 300 GFLOPS or so and looks absolutely gorgeous with an enormous scale.
2.5 TFLOPS would be fine, but they need to understand they are launching very late here and they likely are going to have to deal with things like the PS4K, PS5, and XB2 maybe sooner than they think.
So upgradable hardware I think would be well suited for them, maybe in 2-3 years have a 14nm version at a higher spec and allow older models to be upgraded.
