Please tell me that you just used Volta as an example, because the chances of Nintendo using Volta architecture on the Switch is not even zero but negative. Maxwell at worst or Pascal at best, those are the two chances, not anyone else.

Nvidia CEO just said that Switch is groundbreaking. Since nothing apparent on the outside is groundbreaking he must be talking about the GPU. Volta confirmed!

If it really is Volta, that is a game-changer. Would definitely bring it closer to Xbox One performance. Interesting. I definitely think it will be at least Pascal, but if it is Volta with 2x the CUDA cores, that really beefs it up.
