It's a good question. I'm guessing they have been able to with a die shrink to 16nm and architectural improvements from Pascal to create a chip that gives them roughly 50 GFLOPS per watt. Given a larger tablet form factor to dissipiate heat, lets say 8 watts for your chip (that's 400 GFLOPS) and then 1.5 watts for screen + WiFi in portable situations. You would need a large 40 wH battery to power that, but a 10,000 MaH battery gives you right about 3 1/2-4 hours of battery life. It's doable. It would just have to be the size of the Wii U tablet pad, this would not be a pocket sized device, no way. |
An actual helpful response. That too from Soundwave. You get an actual thanks. It is just that i am not happy with 3DS battery life compared to what we got with DS. Just hoping they don't ignore that aspect. A battery drained handheld is no good to anyone.
