| Soundwave said: One guy who's a known console developer on Anandtech's board's says Switch is "1/3 as fast as an XBox One" (not close) and has no where near the memory bandwidth as XBox One (kinda expected since XBox One has ESRAM that wouldn't be feasible in a portable most likely). It's powerful for a handheld but for TV play, NS ports are going to look noticably worse than the PS4/XB1 provided the developer is interested in making the effort. |
iAs you may know, the X2 pascal chip is touted at 1.5 tf, fp16 (half precision) so 750 gf ,fp32 (single prec.) is the max. Considering Nvidia >>>>> AMD flops, performance wise brings it closer to XB1. This lines up exactly with what Emily declared the entire time , about NX performing similar to XB1 but power comparison being a stretch, etc.
Of course, that could be the dev kit simulated performance, so the final NS product could be clocked higher or even lower. With the ventilation grill on NS, this thing has some mobile ower, but still hard to predict. Again, maybe in portable mode, the thing runs on a "power saving" setting 350-500 gflops & while docked, "performance setting", 750 gflops more/less.
But I think the worst case scenario, regarding 3rd parties, NS will be a 540port system, displacing Vita.
