Nintendo Switch probably more powerful than the Xbox One S, gets PS4 ports

Yeah, there's just one problem with that article - it's written by someone who just picked up highest number nVidia put out, not paying attention that it's FP16 performance and then went on to compare it with FP32 performance of PS4 and X1.

X1 is 512GFLOPS in FP32, not 1TFLOP (that's FP16).

However, I do agree that 1-1.5TFLOPS (FP32) might be possible in docked mode, it's just a question how far Nintendo went with the whole concept.

Not really, it's a power charger = hdmi connector to the TV. No processing power in it (according to Nintendo's PR guy's own words).

 

Not anywhere close to even and Xbox 1 and the ports will be the same kind of ports the Vita also gets from PS4, which means, mostly smaller independent titles and some Japanese last gen crossovers.

As I said earlier (and in different threads), in theory it doesn't have to be in dock, but in main unit.

For the sake of thought experiment, slap two Tegra X1 onto the same die, make it 14nm and run only one downclocked to 700MHz in hendheld mode for ~360 GFLOPS and (if my math is correct) around 10W TDP and run both @1GHz when docked for 1TFLOPs. Or slap 3 X1s for 1.5TFLOPs.

Of course, this is all just having fun with guesstimates, no idea what tech at what cost nVidia can provide, and what is Nintendo willing to pay.
