Wall Street Journal technology reporter Takashi Mochizuki tweeted rumors about the Nintendo Switch’s hardware coming from Hideki Yasuda:
Analyst good at tech details says Switch would be powerful, but not in a way PS and Xbox are so. Interesting.
Following is Ace Research Institute analyst Hideki Yasuda inferring architecture of Nintendo Switch. Note this is "his thinking"
Ace Yasuda: Switch likely using 14/16nmFET process; GPU would be Pascal-based. Power of APU, bus between APU and DRAM likely weaker than PS4
Ace Yasuda Cont'd: Switch game card would use serial transmission. Dock connected via 1 port. Peripheral connections would be high-speed.
Ace Yasuda Cont'd: Switch would be ideal for transmitting large data to DRAM without delay. Good for open-field games with large map data.
Ace Yasuda Cont'd: Important to note tech details of Switch itself won't decide whether Switch would be successful.
