Maybe something like 0.9ghz cpu speed when portable but somewhere around 1.6-2ghz when docked with the equivalent ratio for the gpu speed. If the tablet does have a 720p screen and tv output is 1080p. I think Nintendo will control performance perfectly so that whatever game runs at 720p on the tablet in portable mode can be run perfectly at 1080p possibly anti-aliased on the tv screen.The cpu and gpu speed ratios may actually change based on what is required for docked and portable performance. I.e. the cpu's boost by a smaller margin than the gpu when docked as only minimal additional cpu power is required to run a game at 1080p most of the additional work is required by the gpu. The same cpu processes are needed for the same game whether docked or portable. |
Quality controll, and getting stable frame rates is gonna be a huge pain in the arse when makeing games for the Switch though.
You ll need to make sure the game runs well both as a portable and when docked.
Stuff like that might effect 3rd party rates... I hope the switch sells well.
"build it and they will come"
Nintendo just need to grow its user base early with the switch, and the games will come.
