PS4 is based on first generation GCN technology from AMD making it 5 years old as of January. |
But PS4 is 3 years old, besides that, it had a custom soc with the power of a mid range PC graphic card, not a tablet soc like Switch. PS4 pro just lauched this year with new AMD Polaris architecture and more than twice the graphic power built in 16 nm. And Scorpio will probably bring AMD VEGA.
And the main point is, Switch is mostly a tablet, so it really needs new transistor technology to bring power down on the go. So putting in it old Maxwell at 20 nm is not going to help. They went for cheap stuff, maximizing profits. Fanboys will buy anyway.
