| fatslob-:O said: You don't even know if the CPU will be better, what happens if the Switch only has 4 cores and his clocked lower than the AMD Jaguar in the consoles ? A serious bottleneck for game logic right there that would preclude the Switch from ever getting most of the AAA console games ... You don't even know the bus width or the clock of the memory controller so how do you know it's going to deliver 50 GB/s of memory bandwidth ? LOL, that's not active cooling. Active cooling requires a fan to cool off the system and what you just described is a boost or overclocked mode ... I bet you that "max" for performance you're describing is the FP16 stat. The actual "maximum" the Tegra X1 GPU can deliver is 512 GFlops FP32 precision which is still less than half of the Xbox One ... (This is best case scenario we're talking about here where the Tegra X1 chip has active cooling and always has power supplied from the wall whereas Switch won't even have those two biggest boons that shows the best that Tegra X1 has to offer.) I'd be dubious of claims of the Switch getting current gen AAA console ports in spite the tons of evidence saying otherwise like it's ultrapowered brother still not being able to match last gen consoles in performance with ports of last gen games ... Half of Tegra X1 sounds more realistic to me than half of the Xbox One all things considered ... |
The X1 is a better CPU than Jaguar. Yes, Nintendo will tweak it so it may end up being lower powered, that is true.
I updated my bandwidth of the memory likely just as you quoted me. LPDDR4 is also a better tech of RAM than DDR3. Yes, due to Maxwell limitation, this will be slower and overall lower quantity. However, as I mentioned, PCs use less right now for the same games we're discussing,
You need to go look back at NS images and the patent report. NS has an actual fan and venting for heat. Portable mode may turn it on at low or not at all. However, docked it is certainly on. This is confirmed as fact, not up for debate.
Tegra X1 is in the current shield which is also a small portable device. NS will certainly be more powerful than that and fully capable of running latest AAA games. Multiple people who have been right many times already have stated its less but not substantially less than Xbox One in power. The fact you don't even know there is a fan suggests you are misimformed about other things like how games scale when built on middlware tools such as UE4. There is not technical reason 3rd party games won't be ported to NS based on the rumors I've spelled out in the OP.
