Pyro as Bill said:
Did anyone expect/predict that it would be underclocked to the level it is? Why so much unused overhead? |
Nintendo likely got a hell of a deal on those Tegra X1 Maxwell chips. Nvidia probably fucked up in designing it thinking it would be in a lot of devices. But to make that chip usable in a portable device the size the Switch is (keep in mind there has to be a battery inside that main unit) ... they had to underclock.
