I reckon Nintendo fans should be happy with those specs. Better-than-Mario-Kart-8 graphics on the go is pretty good. |
Of Course, that's basically around 3x more power than Wii U, and enuf power for instance to run MK8 at 1080p with AA and some other effects.

Still seems too high. The Tegra spec with the extra denver cores and 50GB/s memory gets 750 gflops yet stripping out the denver cores and only 25.6GB/s memory speed still achieves 600 gflops and then its likely based onthe older architecture anyway. No those figures are not realistic at all. For me the absolute top figure is around 500 gflops with the lowest at perhaps 300 gflops so I've gone for a middle position of 400 gflops. That I feel might even be optimistic going by Nintendo's past record but for me 600 gflops is just a fantasy figure. I don't even want 600 flops because the more I think about it the more I hate the idea of only 3hrs battery life and if its 600 gflops docked with 1080p output it still probably needs 300 plus gflops when portable at 720p which will be terrible battery life. Even 400 gflops with 25.6GB/s is restrictive. The wii u had 12.8GB/s memory with 176 gflops but had a 32MB of ultra fast memory built into the chipset. Unless Switch has a similar arrangement the Switch will be bottle-necked by memory speed even at 400 gflops. |
Doesn't seems at all too high, just basic Tegra X1 without active cooling can achieve around 512 gflops on stock clocks, but Nintendo is using custom Tegra so we dont know what improvements Nintendo made (my bet is 50 GB/s for memory and something else), and actualy has active cooling. So 500-600 Gflops does not sound high or unrealistic at all, not to mentionle fantasy figure, lol. :) Actually your 400 gflops estimate is lowest estimate I saw until now on Neogaf or here in threads, actually most of people expecting around 300-400 gflops for portable mode.
Definitely Switch will have some improvements compared to custom Tegra X1, it still custom Tegra.
